Leon Müller brings proven pass-rush production and veteran size to Eastern Illinois
Leon Müller enters the 2026 season as a seasoned DL with real disruption juice: in the 2023 season at New Mexico Military Institute he posted 23 tackles, 5 sacks, and 12.5 tackles for loss, then followed with 33 tackles, 7 sacks, and 11 tackles for loss in the 2024 season. Eastern Illinois lists him as a 6-4, 245-pound senior, and a January 2026 team release notes he played in only two games in the 2025 season at Kentucky State before a season-ending injury, so the key question is health; if he’s right, he looks like a length-and-burst edge presence who can change protection plans and fit a defense needing immediate impact.
