Big Frame, Real Juice, Rising Interior Force
In the 2025 season, Derrick LeBlanc flashed as a disruptive 6-foot-5, 310-pound defensive tackle for UCF, posting 13 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a fumble recovery, and a pass breakup in eight games. He stands out for his length, run-defense upside, and interior pass-rush pop, with reports noting a 72.0 run-defense grade and snaps at DT on over 88% of his reps. The bigger story: he’s a former high-end recruit who finally turned promise into production, making him an appealing fit for teams needing size, upside, and a grown-man presence inside.
