Matt Spatny is a proven FCS pass-rush threat and a preseason Patriot League star
Spatny entered the 2025 season as Lehigh’s preseason Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year after a breakout 2024, when he posted 11.5 sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss and 36 total tackles in 12 games, earning AP honorable mention All-American recognition. He’s the kind of DL who changes game plans: explosive off the snap, disruptive on passing downs, and physical enough to finish plays in the backfield. That résumé screams impact player, and the buzz around him says he’s not just productive—he’s a tone-setter with NFL-level edge-rush juice.
