Leighton Gasque brings veteran edge and proven backfield disruption to MTSU
Leighton Gasque is a veteran Middle Tennessee linebacker who has long shown a knack for getting after the quarterback; the Blue Raiders’ roster lists him with 22.0 career sacks, which ranks second in program history, and notes a 13-tackle game in which six were sacks. His profile suggests a disruptive, high-motor defender who can change a game with pressure and energy rather than just raw size. At 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds, he looks like a fit for teams that value experience, toughness, and negative-play production.
