a disruptive, production-heavy linebacker who lives in the backfield
McLeod’s calling card is **impact plays**: in 2024 at Auburn, he led the Tigers with **8.0 sacks** and **14 tackles for loss**, while also finishing with **57 tackles** and **2 forced fumbles**. He transferred from Appalachian State and brought a proven pass-rush edge to Auburn, where he became a high-motor, multi-role defender who can pressure the quarterback and finish against the run. For a team, he fits best as an aggressive front-seven piece who adds juice, urgency, and backfield disruption more than flashy measurables.
