Elite Stealer & Horizon League Star Transferring After Breakout Junior Season
Jada Leonard, a 5'8" redshirt junior guard from the Bronx, is a **Division I steal leader** (48 steals, 5th nationally in 2025-26) who just earned **Horizon League Player of the Week** after averaging 17.3 points, 5.7 assists, and 2.7 steals in a 3-0 week [2][3]. Her **differentiator is relentless defensive intensity**—she has recorded at least one steal in every game this season and was a Horizon League All-Defensive Team pick [3][7]. While her shooting efficiency (37% FG) is a work in progress, her **1,000+ career D1 points** and **playmaking ability** (averaging 3.0 assists) make her a high-energy fit for teams needing a **ball-hawking guard** who elevates with clutch scoring (three 20-point games) [1][3]. Leonard has entered the transfer portal, signaling she’s ready for a bigger role [9].
