High School Career
Legstrong was a very prominent member of the dynastic Holy Cross Crusaders football program that has produced talents the likes of Ryan Cobalt, Luke Boechler, Sam Garrad, and [denote real name] Krispy Kreme who are all current members of NSFL or DSFL teams. He currently holds a number of records on the team as well as for the Saskatoon SSSAD Program. He was known most notably for his strong connections with the members of his team as a leader on and off the field.
Professional career
DSFL career
Legstrong was picked up in 2025 (S10) by the Portland Pythons to join them in their playoff run but received no playing time or contracted pay as his influence on the team was very small. He was selected once again by the Pythons in the 2026 DSFL Draft (S11) with Portland's 8th round selection as he fell all the way to Pick #31. He currently is the starting kicker on the team.
