KNIGHT HAWKS RE-SIGN DEFENSIVE LINEMAN LORENZO HERNANDEZ
IFL Champion returns for third season in Vegas
HENDERSON (November 14, 2025) – Vegas Knight Hawks General Manager and Head Coach Mike Davis announced today, November 14, that the team has re-signed defensive lineman Lorenzo Hernandez to a contract for the 2026 season.
The upcoming season will be Hernandez's third with the Knight Hawks, and his fourth overall in the IFL. The Cherry Hill, New Jersey native played collegiately at ASA Brooklyn, Monmouth and Western Kentucky, and he began his IFL career with the Massachusetts Pirates.
Hernandez is the all-time franchise leader in tackles-for-loss with 25.5 and third all-time with 6.5 sacks. He was a key member of the Knight Hawks' 2025 championship team.
"He's probably one of the best linemen in the league. It's a pleasure to have him back," said Davis. "Obviously the goal for him is to get to an outdoor league, but until that comes to light, he'll continue here and lead this defensive line back to where we need to be."
