Leibfried is listed as measuring 6-6, 265 pounds. He is rated 3-stars, the No. 11 Wisconsin recruit and No. 84 offensive tackle in the Class of 2024 by 247Sports.
Bob Bostad led the recruitment of Leibfried to Indiana. Bostad has deep ties in the state of Wisconsin. He’s a native of Pardeeville, Wisconsin, and played college football at University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point. When it comes to recruiting B1G linemen, Bostad had 2 stints with the Wisconsin Badgers as an assistant coach from 2006-11 and 2017-22. He joined the Hoosiers staff in December 2022.
With Leibfried on board, Indiana now has 16 commitments in its 2024 recruiting class. Leibfried’s highlights can be viewed below, via Hudl:
