"Do You Remember Wednesday?!" - We had our first Lancer football player in the NFL?

As 53-man NFL rosters and practice squads locked in, we kept a close eye on our football brothers making noise at the next level.

Huge congratulations to Josh Whyle '18 (Green Bay Packers roster) and Devonta Smith '21 (Carolina Panthers practice squad) on earning their spots for the 2026-27 NFL season!

That brotherhood runs deep. It takes us back to Tom Luken '68, the very first Lancer to suit up in the NFL when he made the Philadelphia Eagles. He paved the way, proving that the grit forged right here under the Friday night lights translates to the biggest stage in the game.

Do you know how many Lancers have made an NFL roster—and can you name them all? (No walking out to Lancer Stadium to check the wall!)

Last Friday at the 20-yard line, we were honored to welcome the Doerger family as we unveiled a memorial stone below the De La Salle Memorial Center walkway, honoring the life and legacy of Tom Doerger ’81.

After his playing days as an offensive tackle for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Tom came back home to La Salle. For 30 years as a teacher and coach, he led by example—demanding excellence, grounding his work in faith, and shaping generations of young men into leaders. He set the standard for what it means to be Called to Serve, both on the field and as a devoted family man.

Join us in raising a hand for the entire Doerger family. Legacy lives on!

10 years strong. This past Friday, over 30 men from the Class of 2016 stood shoulder to shoulder once again.

From a morning on the links to good food, a solid Alma Mater update, a Lancer football win, and a tour through our old halls—it was a day fit for the books. The support and brotherhood in this class remain absolute.

Respect to the Class of '2016 for keeping the tradition alive. The doors are always open—come home soon, fellas.
