In the 2009 season, Heath Brickner emerged as a dependable, high-IQ linebacker for Lehigh, starting all 10 games he was healthy for and finishing with 51 tackles, 1 interception, and 1 blocked kick. At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, he stands out for his length, added bulk, and versatility, and Lehigh notes he maintained a 3.0 GPA while becoming one of the defense’s starting linebackers.
