Hope he has a speedy recovery.
Riley Leonard to miss winter workouts.

- Start date
This guy is injury prone. Thank God none of our QBs have transferred. I don't care how good you are, if you can't get on the field you are worthless.
He's entering his final year of eligibility and he's only had one good season. That should raise some questions. I'm just glad we have Angeli, Minchey, and Carr behind him. ND hasn't had a QB room this talented in a very long time.
Is he really injury-prone or did he just suffer a serious ankle injury when Cross tackled him that he aggravated a couple of times during the rest of the season? I admit, I don't follow college football as closely as some of you guys do, and I only started to pay attention to Leonard last season.
Hes been hurt most of the year. Ankle injury against ND, then comes back in week 7 with toe injury and is out for year. Now he has ankle surgery and is scheduled to miss 6-8 weeks which jeopardizes spring ball. The guy can run but isn't much of a passer. (1100 yds - 3 TDs/3INt last year). Running QBs usually get hurt, this guy is no exception. He won't last the year. Sorry, Im not impressed
Then it's going to be the start of the Kenny Minchey era. And a glorious one it will be.
But, I hope this guy eventually heals up and all that....

He has to pass Angeli first, which he hasn't been able to.
It's crazy how everyone is overlooking Angeli. The kid has stepped up and performed excellent with every opportunity he's been given. High completion percentage, scans the field and checks down his receivers.
Everyone in the world breaks their ankle if they get tackled like he did by cross (that wasn't a run play, it was a fluke play)
Yes he rushed back to try and save their season and it caused other issues
Could he have injury issues, maybe, but is there reason to believe it, no. He played all 13 games in 2022 while rushing for 700 yds. It's like saying Joe theisman was injury prone because of his broken leg by LT.
We all know you are infatuated with the guy about all this great "potential" he has. I don't see it Todd, we will find out soon enough
Bad comparison, Theisman got his leg broke in half. Leonard had a high ankle sprain, then he had turf toe two weeks later. He just had tightrope surgery which is a new procedure to fix a high ankle sprain.
Apparently, Leonard will not miss Spring practiceHope he has a speedy recovery.
InsideNDSports - QB Leonard expected to be 100% for Notre Dame spring practice after surgery
Duke transfer underwent surgery early this month on his right ankle for an injury he suffered Sept. 30 against ND.

Yes, turf toe likely caused by compensation due to ankle putting opposite/more stress on another area
He did just fine in the bowl game. Leonard played in a lot of big games/stadiums. My God, Duke holds 40,000 fans. WOW!!!! In 2023, he played 3 ranked opponents (ND, FL St, Louisville - ALL LOSSES). In 2022 season where he was "elite" per some poster he played a sorry ass schedule. Played one ranked opponent Pitt #22 and LOSSED AGAIN. I think Angeli can handle a big crowd.
Replace recruited with bought/purchased and you nailed it!
You guys do realize that he is already in pics working out and his surgery was 2 weeks ago right? Who the hell started this rumor that he is out for any considerable time? He’s not.

A quick Google search tells you that he threw for 2,970 - 20/6INTs in 2022... or does that not fit your narritve?
