About Derrick
Expert Analysis
Hunter Tierney | Prep Redzone Scout
LeBlanc is the kind of edge that makes an offensive line coach start reaching for the aspirin by the second quarter, because the dude brings real power from the ground up — lower-half pop, long disruptive arms, and that nasty habit of finding the football when he finally gets home. The best part is he’s not living off one move or one matchup; you can tell he’s put time into the craft, because he’ll threaten with speed, convert to power, work back inside, and keep stacking moves until the blocker’s balance is gone. And on a defense that already knows how to hunt quarterbacks, that refined toolbox matters — it means he doesn’t need the perfect look or the perfect down-and-distance to create pressure. He’s playing with urgency, he’s finishing plays, and when he gets to the QB it feels like there’s always a chance the ball is coming out. If you’re looking for “most likely to be a weekly problem next season,” he’s right at the top of that list.
