Leggett (Santa Barbara, CA) is coming off a junior season where he led the nation with 148 goals and 198 points in 2025. It was the second-consecutive season leading the nation in goals and points. Leggett is a two-time ACWPC All-American, a three time First-Team All-Conference honoree and is Air Force's all-time leader in goals (405) and points (522).
