Leon is a 5-8, 213 (+12 from 2017), redshirt Junior running back from Goodyear, AZ. He has played in every game over the past 2 years on special teams and has 21 career carries. Last year he had 13 carries for 81 yards (6.2 yds/carry) and 1 TD against NAU. Leon has proven to be a hard running, reliable back who will be in the fight to see where he falls in the rotation or for situational use. He will also likely still be a special teams contributor.
