Coming in at 5’9, Leighton is a smooth running athlete out of Maryland. Leighton has speed that jumps off the charts, and he proves it on the gridiron when he blows past defenders. Leighton is one of the most pure scat back type athlete’s that I have seen coming out of this class. Running out of the backfield, Leighton gets downhill fast and physically. With his decisive nature, Leighton makes his cuts quickly as he finds his way through the first level of defense. Leighton can also be found split out as a receiver catching quick screens or getting open downfield. No matter where he is on the field, Leighton is phenomenal at allowing blocks to develop in front of him and setting up a clear line to the end zone. To my knowledge he hasn’t made a decision on which high school he’ll be attending, but he has nearly every private school in the DMV hoping to see him in their uniform next year.
