WATCH: Marcedus Leech “Overcoming Adversity” profile

Iowa State signee Marcedus Leech will be one of the biggest question roster question marks entering the 2019-20 season. The 6-foot-5 three-star prospect was once considered one of the top players in the 2019 class, but a compound fracture in his leg caused his recruiting stock to drop while he sat out the entirety of his junior season. In this video, Leech explains the process of coming back from the injury, why he stuck with Iowa State and how close he is to being back to his old self. It is a really cool story.
