Lehigh’s Jacob Messina is a rising 6-3, 290-pound junior guard with real game reps
Messina is a junior offensive lineman at Lehigh in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-3 and 290 pounds, and he has already earned live-game snaps at guard after appearing in two games as a first-year in 2024 and late in wins over Georgetown and Holy Cross in 2025. His appeal is obvious: he’s a sturdy interior blocker with experience, size, and a college-ready frame, plus a background that includes all-conference honors and track and field. He’s not a headline-grabbing stat guy — he’s a trench piece, and those are the sneaky-good roster fits.
