Michael Leunen brings rare size and red-zone value to Yale’s tight end room
In Yale’s 2012 season, Michael Leunen emerged as a big-bodied, 6-foot-7 target who led the Bulldogs’ tight ends with two touchdowns, finished with six catches for 61 yards, and started six of 10 games[2][9][12]. The appeal is obvious: he’s a long, physical mismatch in the middle of the field and a proven red-zone option, not just a catcher of checkdowns[2][10][11]. The caution flag is durability, since Yale’s roster notes he missed the 2011 season with injury[2].
