a local Mesa guard with freshman upside and room to grow
Ryan Leggitt enters Benedictine Mesa as a 6'1 freshman guard from Desert Ridge High School, where he averaged 6.6 points and 3.0 rebounds as a senior in the 2024-25 season, giving the Redhawks a hometown floor general with solid size for the backcourt and a straightforward, low-drama fit. His appeal is less about flashy stat-stuffing and more about dependable guard traits: size, rebounding pop for his position, and a Mesa-to-Mesa transition that suggests comfort and familiarity. He looks like a developmental piece who could reward a patient coaching staff.
