Leggett is a native of Vermont and came to UMaine as a two sport star. He captained the 1976 Maine baseball team that played in the College World Series. He also was a 2-time All Yankee Conference football player, a defensive back and kicker. In fact, Leggett holds the school record for a 52-yard field goal.

In his 34 seasons as a head coach, Leggett's teams have won 1,264 games. He has been at Clemson for the past 20 years (887 wins) and 6 College World Series appearances.

Leggett and six other coaches will be inducted into the ABCA Hall of Fame.
