The word injury appears three times in Vili Leveni’s bio on Oklahoma State’s website.
It’s the last word on the first line of his bio. Leveni made a “major impact” before an injury sidelined him. That’s how his redshirt junior season was summarized.
Leveni suffered a right foot injury last year that ended his season after nine games. He tallied two sacks and 12 tackles while rotating in at defensive tackle and defensive end. Before that, Leveni missed his entire sophomore campaign after tearing his Achilles during a summer workout.
Leveni’s freshman year has been his only complete season.
