David McLeod

Induction:
2020
Class:
1994

One of the greatest big-play threats in JMU football history, wide receiver David McLeod closed out his decorated four-year career at JMU as the program's all-time leader in career receptions (158), receiving touchdowns (21) and receiving yards (2,899). Nearly three decades after his final game, his numbers still dot the record books, as he ranks third in receptions, second in touchdowns and remains JMU's record-holder for career receiving yards, single-season receiving yards (1,207 as a senior in 1993) and single-game receiving yards (192) as of his 2020 induction into the JMU Hall of Fame. McLeod was named First Team All-America and consensus First Team All-State for that standout senior season, capping a career that saw him also usher in a new era of JMU football, having helped lead the Dukes to their first-ever postseason appearance in 1991 as a sophomore.
