Leighton Talmadge brings rare size and developmental upside to NDSU’s edge
Leighton Talmadge is a **6-foot-6, 245-pound** defensive end whose appeal is built on frame, length, and projectable pass-rush upside rather than verified box-score production in the available sources.[4][5] He previously appeared on the University of Mary roster, and current public listings now place him with **North Dakota State**, which suggests a transfer/development path into a proven FCS program.[4][5] If you want an edge defender with real physical tools and room to grow into a disruptive role, he’s the kind of player worth tracking; the main question is how quickly that size translates into consistent college production.[4][5]
