WitP: Leonard Peters

Todd Dewey of the Las Vegas Review-Journal profiles former UH football and current US Sevens rugby player Leonard Peters.

"Other guys, internationally, would never think about putting a player on the national team who only has (eight) months of experience. But it's just a reflection on Leonard's athletic ability and how much he's become a student of the game," said U.S. coach Al Caravelli, who described the 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pound Peters as an "impact player coming off the bench."

"He's got great footwork, he starts and stops very quickly, and he's an amazing hitter and tackler. When he hits you, you'll definitely feel it."
