Andrew “Tuffy” Leingang (b. Nov. 14, 2002) is a smart, academically gifted mauler of an offensive lineman who is majoring in chemical engineering and is the first K-State player from North Dakota since at least 1949.
This year, I predict Leingang to line up as a starter at left guard, but he can also play right guard or right tackle if needed. He’s probably our most flexible offensive lineman in 2025.
In the summer of 2021, Leingang received a national academic award from the National Football Foundation after earning a 4.13 grade-point average in high school.
As a true freshman that year, he saw time as a reserve offensive lineman against West Virginia but he still retained his redshirt.
Leingang then saw action in nine games in 2022 as a reserve offensive lineman, and he also contributed over the final five games as an extra offensive lineman and part-time fullback.
He helped K-State to rank 15th nationally in rushing yards per game (208.3), the Wildcats’ best national ranking since 2003 (ninth) and best mark since 2016 (231.8), seeing time on 70 offensive snaps during the Big 12 Championship season.
Leingang also was part of a unit that saw K-State rank third in school history in rushing yards per carry (5.12), fourth in total rushing yards (2,916) and 10th in rush touchdowns (32).
The Cats also ranked second in school history in total offensive yards (5,863) and ninth in offensive yards per play (6.12). And he was a first-team Academic All-Big 12 performer.
