Lafayette Leopards play hard and achieve big … on the field and off.
Lafayette College is home to an incredibly storied and tradition-rich 23-sport intercollegiate athletics program. In addition to boasting four national championships and 64 Patriot League regular season and tournament championships, the Leopards have shaped the game of college football with the invention of the helmet, the invention of the huddle and the game’s most played rivalry. The Leopards’ success extends well beyond the competitive venues, annually ranking among the nation’s leaders in student-athlete graduation success rate and individual scholar-athlete honors.
