Lehigh freshman LB Matthew Tessin brings size, academics, and upside to the Mountain Hawks
Matthew Tessin is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound first-year linebacker for Lehigh from Seattle Prep, and his profile screams upside: a team captain, second-team all-league pick, and 2025 defensive MVP in high school, with track-and-field speed and an engineering-brain rep that usually translates to fast processing on defense. Lehigh lists no college stats yet, so the appeal is less about box-score production and more about projectable length, competitive habits, and a high-floor culture fit for a defense that values discipline and toughness.
