Jelani King-Leverett brings gap-filling toughness and special-teams-ready edge to A&T’s defense
King-Leverett is a 6'4", 225-pound redshirt senior who has been praised by North Carolina A&T for excellent gap discipline, flexibility, leverage, and run-defense value, and he earned real reps in 2022 with 12 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 sack in 6 games. The appeal is the role-player who plays with edge and can fit multiple front looks: he started as a defensive end and moved to outside linebacker, showing versatility and steady developmental upside. If a team wants a physical, assignment-sound defender who can help against the run and compete for snaps, he’s a credible fit.
