About Leroy

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My game play style is aggressive but patient I like to read the field and make big hits! I wait patiently but read perfectly and go get the ball at its highest point.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m a leader a team player and I don’t like to lose but can accept a lose because it makes me better.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Not at the time

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve developed great social skills being around different variety of peers and athletes which transitions my ability to be a better leader and teammate I also help feed the homeless in the community.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes my dad is in a wheelchair and I help him everyday which makes me go harder and want to be successful so I can help even more and myself in the long run.

What type of college are you looking for?

Prothro Jr is a toolsy corner with a ton of upside.  Productive player that had 33 Tackles, 5 PBU, 3 tackles for loss, and 1 fumble recovery as a freshman. Outstanding footwork with quick change of direction.  Smooth back pedal and can play physical in press coverage as well.  Sets the edge against the run bringing down backs and not letting them get to the edge as a tackler.  Uses the sideline as his friend.  Quick reaction from backpedal to exploding on the ball.
