What's even crazier, and something of a statement of the impact of Brent Venables, Todd Bates, and Miguel Chavis?
Three of those four have come since Venables arrived - Leblanc, along with Alton Tarber and R Mason Thomas back in February. The only other was K'Jakyre Daley back in the 2017 class. As you all may have deduced already, though he is just the fourth he's in even more rarified air as he is the first four-star defensive lineman Oklahoma has signed from the state of Florida in the Rivals era.
