Drew Leuckel brings size, production, and two-way toughness to Western Illinois
Leuckel arrives at Western Illinois with a rugged, high-motor profile: he was a 2025 signing-class addition after a senior year at Perryville that reportedly produced 147 tackles, 10 sacks, and 23 tackles for loss, plus five touchdowns. He has been recognized as an all-state, all-conference, and team-MVP type of player, and his background at both tight end and defensive end suggests real versatility and edge-setting physicality. For a team, he looks like a culture fit who plays with toughness and effort; for fans, he’s the kind of lineman who can grow into a disruptive, all-around force.
