Leo Ekwoge brings senior-level toughness and special-teams value to Western Michigan
Ekwoge is best known as a physical, team-first back who has carved out value at Western Michigan through special teams and short-yardage reliability rather than high-volume rushing. In the 2018 season, he played in 10 games and recorded seven tackles on special teams, and ESPN’s current stat line shows limited offensive usage so far (7 carries for 45 yards, 6.4 yards per carry).[5][3] He looks like a fit for a staff that prizes versatility, assignment soundness, and effort snaps, especially on a roster where role players who can help in multiple phases matter.[6][5]
