With a frame that screams Division I, Nash Leonard Nash Leonard 6'6" | 275 lbs | OL Kuemper Catholic | 2028 State IA is just another stud offensive lineman amongst a group at Kuemper Catholic that demands attention from FCS, Group of 5 and Power 4 coaches. Standing at 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds, Leonard’s should be enough to get attention, but his play on the field furthers his case.

Despite standing so tall, Leonard’s pad-level is one of the first things that pops on his film. He’s able to get up-and-under the pads of the opposing defender and get serious push. Ranked as the No. 6 player in Iowa’s class of 2027, Leonard’s push in the run game and length in pass protection were key in the Knights’ run to the 2A state championship on the gridiron this fall.

Leonard popped out to me with his play during the Class 2A state semifinal matchup with Wilton and confirmed his abilities in the title game against Van Meter. At 6-6, 250, he sure doesn’t look like a 10th-grader. Leonard is a linear athlete with long arms and a frame capable of adding plenty of good weight. With that will come strength, which will help raise his game up even more. At present, Leonard shows a keen feel for offensive tackle with smooth feet and effective hand placement. The sophomore can move and reach blocks in space. He is, without question, one to monitor moving forward as a prospect with a considerable ceiling.
