Matthias Leach brings rare size, speed, and ball-hawking upside to BYU’s secondary
Leach is a high-upside BYU safety who fits the modern mold: long, athletic, and versatile enough to flash as a defensive back, punter, and even track-and-field standout in high school. BYU recruited him as an explosive, physical defender with closing speed, downhill trigger, and ball skills, while his senior-year production and three-star profile suggest real developmental upside. He is also a strong academic and special-teams type who should appeal to staffers looking for a coachable, multi-tool athlete rather than just a box-score player.
