Out of all the underclassmen OL I’ve watched this year, Michael Leach Michael Leach 6'4" | 265 lbs | OL/DL Chatfield | 2028 State CO is one of most advanced out of the group.  At 6’4 275, he has great size for the next level.  What first stood out to me is his pass pro.  He has a great understanding of positioning, setting based on the alignment of his assignment – not oversetting and always protecting his inside.  His kick step had me jumping out of my chair! Tremendous body control and how light on his feet he is when facing a wide rusher.  Clinic tape. Almost like you can see him working a drill with a med ball.  Leach is also comfortable switching it up and jump setting wide rushers.  He utilizes hand flashes to keep rushers off balance and has the strength to absorb power rushers.  In the run game Leach is a force when he gets downhill, he takes bumping the hip on dbl teams to the next level often “tossing player out the club”.  Leach plays with an edge and consistently finishes blocks.  Leach is oozing D1 potential out of Littleton, CO.

Leach has the frame and athleticism to be a dominant two-way player in the trenches. He’s explosive off the snap and has a knack for causing chaos in the backfield, he is able to collapsing the pocket or clog the middle and stop the run. Offensively, he brings power and stability, consistently opening running lanes and giving his quarterback time to work. Leach’s quickness off the line and violent hands make him hard to contain on either side of the ball. This is a breakout season in the making for a player whose ceiling is sky high if he continues progressing.
