Looks like he had been favoring Illinois, but there seems to be something going on here with the Buffs.

I can't find much on him. He's got something in his profile about being the 24th ranked player in Cali. Originally from New Orleans.

Also, he comes from a couple places that made heavy uses of Jucos and transfers (KSU, USF).

Leavitt did learn from the Sith Lord himself when it comes to stocking a roster.

Well and a scheme switch would explain a lot of that. Not at defensive back but other positions need an overhaul. That is probably the one downside of switching.
