Hageman had a stellar linebacking season. He had 104 total tackles (62 solo, 42 assisted), 15 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 INT, 3 PD, and 1 FF. The 6’3 205-pound linebacker has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, jumping, good speed, and lateral agility. Hageman is a force at linebacker. He uses his very good strength to eat up blocks, allowing very good block shedding. Good get off speed. Hageman is a very good blitzer, with good take off speed. He rushes the gaps and uses his very good tackling to get sacks or TFL. Hard hitter and very good in run support. Good read and reaction time.  One thing of note is his very good ball tracking and catching. He plucks the ball out of the air for INTs and returns them as well. Hageman has good range and a good zone coverage as well. He has some great linebacking tape and has committed to the University of Northern Colorado !

Hageman has had a productive offseason, from competing in the Prep Super League with Mile High Prep to showcasing his skillset across the summer camp circuit. At 6’3 and 200 pounds, Hageman has the frame, athleticism, and instincts to play at the Division I level. He finished last season with 75 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and 1 interception, proving he can impact the game in both run defense and coverage. His versatility and ability to make reads quickly have put him on the radar, and another big season could be the catalyst that brings in his first D1 offer.

Hageman impressed during spring ball in the @prepsuperleague as he played for @milehighprep and enters his final high school season as one of the most dynamic linebackers in the state. With sideline to sideline speed and the instincts to make big plays, Hageman is a true three down linebacker. He excels at getting off blocks, putting pressure on the quarterback, and making plays in coverage, including coming down with interceptions. Don’t be surprised if he becomes a major target for college scouts in 2026.

Measuring in at 6’3 185-pounds, Hageman was the middle linebacker for Erie this past season. The standout linebacker had 75 total tackles (35 solo, 40 assisted), 6 TFL, 2 sacks, 3 QB hurries, 1 INT, and 3 pass deflections. Hageman has good athletic ability due to good lateral agility, change of direction, speed, and acceleration. He has good push off against the offensive line and blockers. Good blocking shedding. Hageman has good tackling, and tackles towards the ball carrier’s center of gravity. He is a good run stopper. Good in zone coverage with reading and reacting to what he sees. Hageman had good production and I’m interested to see how he does next season.

Hageman complemented his brother on defense, delivering an impressive performance of his own. He recorded five solo tackles and five assisted tackles, solidifying himself as a reliable presence on the opposite side. Lincoln’s ability to step up and make stops helped keep the pressure on the opposing offense. His performance, paired with his brother’s, made the Hageman duo a formidable defensive pairing for Erie, as both players consistently made big plays when their team needed it.

Hageman is a backer that is able to press into his gap and shed the blocker to make a tackle in the backfield or put pressure on the QB and get a sack. He has the speed to be able to shoot the gap and is a good open field tackler bringing the ball carrier down in a hurry. He has the ability to drop back into coverage and has good hands being able to take it the other way to the house on INTs. He is also a QB that you will need to keep an eye on as well.
