Hirschfeld joins Marquette University's (Milwaukee, Wis.) Conor Sheehy and Wayne County's (Jesup, Georgia) Jeremy Patterson as this year's class on the defensive line. Hirschfeld led a stout Arrowhead defense that stymied opponents the past two seasons. He'll provide depth in a defensive line losing key seniors Tyler Dippel, Beau Allen, Ethan Hemer, and Pat Muldoon.
