In 2023, Leonard led a Duke team that was clinging to the rankings for the first half of the season, with the highlight being an opening week stunner versus the Clemson Tigers. Famously, Leonard's season was cut short in a mid-season defeat to Notre Dame in which he rolled his ankle. Another connection for Leonard in this game is that he will be playing his former head coach with the Blue Devils, Mike Elko, who now coaches the Aggies.
