3 QUESTIONS FOR LEDDEL
Biggest soccer influence? "Sergio Ramos, for his fearlessness, passion and desire to win every time he steps on the pitch."
Do you have an idol or hero? "My parents. They work so hard and sacrifice so much to allow me to continue to play the game I love and chase my dreams. Without them, I wouldn't anywhere close to where I am today."
Why Yale? "Stepping onto campus for the first time, it felt like home right away. After meeting the coaches and the current members of the team, the culture and environment was something I knew I wanted to contribute to be a part of. Yale is a place where I knew I could grow and learn more as a person, student, and soccer player."
Stannard on Leddel: "Noah came to us late in the process and we are fortunate to have it come together. We have a huge need to improve quality in our backline and Noah has the potential to contribute right away. He brings an all-around skillset as a defender with his competitive desire, 1v1 defending ability, athleticism and physicality, good soccer IQ, two-footed passing ability, good passing range, quality in the air, and good communication and leadership potential. We are very excited for Noah's potential."
