Cameron Leonard is flashing as a fast-start linebacker for Savannah State
In the 2026 season, Savannah State linebacker Cameron Leonard opened with a team-high 7 tackles and a pass breakup in the opener, showing range, activity, and real edge in run support.[14] The Tigers’ preseason notes also flagged him as a linebacker who has to “grow up fast” in a new-era defense, which usually means trust, urgency, and a heavy workload—not just raw numbers.[6] At 5-foot-10 and 230-ish pounds in prior team listings, he looks like a compact, physical defender who fits best in a scheme that values effort, tackling, and quick downhill reactions.[10][13]
