Bio
Jack Leys is a hard-running prospect tied to Richmond through his father Brian, who played 110 games for the Tigers between 1988 and 1994. The Woodville-West Torrens product spent time training at Punt Road during the pre-season before putting together a strong draft-year campaign in South Australia. Operating on the wing to showcase his athletic base, Leys starred early in the SANFL Under-18 season, highlighted by a match-winning performance against Glenelg. Although a hamstring injury forced him to miss the opening game of the National Championships for South Australia, he returned to represent his state and subsequently earned an invitation to the state draft combine.
Growing up as a midfielder, Leys transitioned to the outside this year to best utilise his speed and endurance. Scouts praise his clean ball handling and strength in one-on-one contests, noting his habit of driving his legs through traffic to link up between the arcs. While coaches have challenged him to increase his offensive output, his deceptive power makes him a dangerous asset in transition. Firmly on the AFL draft radar, he is expected to draw interest from rival clubs, though Richmond is fully expected to match any bid for the promising talent.
