Elite back and potential steal, Javonta Leatherwood, is in Alabama’s backyard

Javonta Leatherwood is a 3-Star running back out of Central High School in Tuscaloosa. He ran for 2,006 yards and 25 touchdowns in his junior season. His impressive junior stat line helped push his offer list to five with offers from UAB, Southern Miss, Troy, Middle Tennessee State and Ole Miss.

Leatherwood performed in the top percentile at the Nike Opening Regional Atlanta in March and caught up with Touchdown Alabama Magazine to discuss his experience.

“It was a great experience to come out to the opening to play against some of the top players in the world,” Leatherwood said.
