[edit] Early life
Leuenberger represented Western Australia in the under-18 Rising Star program and was a key prospect in the ruck having received the honour of being named in the U18 All-Australian team.
He stands at 202 cm and weighs 92 kg and is considered a ready-built utility, likened to Collingwood's last no 1 pick Josh Fraser and West Coast's Dean Cox. With a high level of athleticism and agility for a player of his height, Leuenberger has drawn early comparisons to West Coast ruckman Dean Cox.
[edit] AFL career
Leuenberger was picked up by the Brisbane Lions in the 2006 AFL Draft at pick no. 4.
