Ohio State’s Developing TE With Big-Recruit Pedigree
LeBlanc enters the 2026 season as a 6-4, 246-pound redshirt junior for Ohio State after coming in as a four-star recruit and top-20-ish tight end prospect, but his on-field résumé is still mostly developmental: he appeared in four games as a freshman, redshirted, and did not play in a game as a redshirt freshman[1][3][9]. That said, his profile screams upside—size, length, international background, and enough athletic promise that Ohio State kept him in the program through a crowded tight end room[1][12]. If you want a long-term upside TE who can grow into a blocker/receiver hybrid, he’s worth keeping an eye on; if you need immediate production, the answer is not yet, not today[1][12].
