Saginaw Valley State defensive lineman Adom LeDuc (Utica, MI, Utica Stevenson HS) was named to the D2Football.com Elite 100 Watch List on Wednesday evening. The watch list consists of first and second team offense, defense, and special teams along with 25 "squad" players for offense and defense. Selected by the staff of D2Football.com with input from numerous sitting head coaches and professional football scout Josh Buchanan. LeDuc earned a spot on the first team Defensive Line.

LeDuc enters his fourth season as a starter on the Cardinal defensive line. He is a two-time All-GLIAC selection with a first team nod last year. The Utica, Mich., native helped the SVSU defense top the conference last season in rushing defense, ranking 23^rd nationally in that category. LeDuc highlighted Saginaw Valley State's pass rush as he led the team with 12 quarterback hurries, while finishing fourth on the team in total tackles (51), third in tackles for loss (7.5), and tied second in sacks (3.5).

The Cardinals begin the 2026 season at home for the Red Feather Charity Football Game on Thursday, August 27 at 7 p.m. against McKendree.
