Josh Leonard brings veteran Hawaii trench toughness
Josh Leonard is a sturdy, battle-tested defensive lineman for Hawai‘i who has long been valued for power, leverage, and effort in the run game; the key differentiator is his proven college production and size, not flash. In his 2008 senior season at Hawaii, he played in 13 games with 12 starts at defensive tackle and posted 36 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and two pass breakups, a useful profile for teams that want a disruptive interior presence rather than a pure speed rusher. He fits best as a physical, high-motor interior defender who can hold gaps and flash occasional backfield disruption.
