veteran Lehigh power back with a walk-on edge
A 5-foot-11, 230-pound senior RB at Lehigh in the 2026 season, Nana Amankwah-Ayeh brings old-school physicality, maturity, and a proven team-first mentality to the Mountain Hawks backfield.[1][2] He first earned attention as a walk-on who turned into a dependable contributor, a path that speaks to his toughness and coachability more than raw hype.[2][10] In a backfield now centered on All-American Luke Yoder, Amankwah-Ayeh profiles as the kind of reliable, downhill depth piece who can help a team on short-yardage, in practice, and in the locker room.[1][6][11]
