Harvard’s hard-nosed, former all-state edge presence with Ivy grit
Ramsey Lafayette was a sturdy, physical Harvard defender who arrived with an all-state résumé and National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete recognition, signaling both field toughness and high-end discipline. In Harvard’s 2009 roster, he was listed at 6-foot-2, 265 pounds as a senior defensive lineman, and earlier Harvard notes show he contributed with a sack against Princeton in 2009. The big differentiator: he paired blue-collar trench play with strong academics and leadership traits, making him the kind of low-drama, high-accountability fit coaches love.
