Head Coach: Josh Snyder (9th season, 60-33 )

Coaching Staff: DC – Greg Mitchell, Line – Dave Kerschner, DL/WR – Rich Kulp, DB/RB – Josh Zimmerman, LB’s Ryan Hulmes, TE’s & Special Teams George Haddad

Team Name: Northwestern Lehigh Tigers (roster size 49 grades 9-12)

2016 Record: 10-2

Key Starters Lost: Deven Bollinger, Conner Snyder, Dom Harding, Derek Hebelka, Robby Goldberg, Jaden Allen

Offensive Starters Returning: (3) Sr RB Nick Henry, Sr WR Justin Rodda, JR QB Justin Holmes

Defensive Starters Returning: (6) Sr DL Owen Coffield, Sr LB Nick Henry, Sr DB Justin Rodda, SR OLB Wyatt Ledaboer, Jr OLB Justin Holmes, Jr DB Taylor Wikert

Key Newcomers: Sr Danny Fenstermacher, Sr Reed Conrey, Jr Zach Fry, Jr Ben Dunstan, Ryan McDonnell, Jr Devin Toth, So Cade Christopher

2017 Outlook : Defense: Tigers return 6 Defensive starters from a year ago. They will rely on being aggressive and use their athleticism to give multiple looks. The back 8 have a ton of experience and look to take another big step forward this year. Owen Coffield is a 3 year starter at DE that will look to have a huge senior season.

Offense: The Tigers are returning just 3 on offense in RB Nick Henry, WR Justin Rodda, QB Justin Holmes. Those 3 are very explosive players that will look to lead the pistol/spread attack. The entire offensive line and TE are all gone due to graduation. The Tigers offensive success will depend on how quickly an inexperienced line can gel together and can work as a unit.

Special Teams: Tigers look to continue to be very solid in the special teams area. The kicking duties will again be in the hands of Andres Garrido. Punter will be Nick Henry.
