10 years ago, senior inside linebacker Akileis Leroy suffered a devastating knee injury.
Leroy was playing football in middle school as a running back in his hometown of Albany, Ga. when he suffered an ACL injury. Sometimes, it takes up to nine months to recover from an ACL injury, but once he recovered, he learned about the defense.
