Last year, Riley Leonard was one of the early stories of the year after leading Duke to an upset of Clemson in a national broadcast. However, injuries limited him to just even games and 1,102 yards passing.
Will a surgically repaired ankle be ready to allow Leonard to use his feet in South Bend? That could be a key. He's run for 1,224 yards and 19 TDs in his career and if his ankle is 100% healthy, he could be a star now that he's playing for a marquee program.
