Paul Bode brings veteran size, disruptive plays, and proven Lehigh toughness on the defensive line
In the latest available Lehigh football profile, Paul Bode is a 6-3, 255-pound senior defensive lineman who was expected to push for a starting role after appearing in all 11 games and posting 29 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and two fumble recoveries in the 2025 season; he also turned one of those takeaways into a game-winning touchdown against Harvard. His calling cards are production, effort, and a nose for momentum-swinging plays, plus the kind of “best fit” academic-athletic vibe Lehigh clearly values. If you want a DL who can flash impact without needing the spotlight, Bode looks like a smart, physical fit.
