In a new thing that I don't remember coming up much, and that I want you to read and hear in your head like something from a royal herald, Leblanc is the "FIRST OF HIS NAME!" in Oklahoma football history.
**He is only the fourth defensive lineman the Sooners have landed from the state of Florida - at least amongst those who eventually signed - since the beginning of the Rivals era, 2002.
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.
