Mercyhurst’s tone-setter at linebacker
In the 2024 season, Zach Hill emerged as a steadying force for Mercyhurst, earning Third Team Phil Steele NEC honors after posting 77 tackles and helping anchor a defense that kept the Lakers competitive in their first Division I year.[6] He has a reputation for effort and leadership—Mercyhurst named him a 2023 captain and praised his high motor, while earlier in his career he logged 66 tackles in 2023 and 63 in 2022.[4][1] If your team wants a dependable, physical linebacker who brings production, toughness, and locker-room credibility, Hill fits the bill.
