Working into form: WR/ATH Craig LeBlanc III

RIVIERA BEACH – We have a hidden gem in the LeBlanc family.

Already well-known is professional cornerback Cre’Von LeBlanc (Glades Central alum – 2012; FAU alum – 2016), who played five seasons in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chicago Bears, and the Detroit Lions from 2016-2020 before moving on to the XFL for the Arlington Renegades in 2023.

But not well-known at this time is an up-and-coming nephew of Cre’Von’s who is set to make his own mark in the years to come.

Meet Craig LeBlanc III, a 2025 wide receiver/athlete who excelled at the Route Chemist 1-on-1 workouts on Saturday (March 23). The Palm Beach Gardens skill position player would go on to win the event’s Offensive MVP honors, as determined by Route Chemist founder and Palm Beach Gardens Gators Hall of Famer Frank Brown.

Craig took the time to speak on his honor after the three-to-four-hour long event ended at the Wells Recreational Center fields.

Watch Craig’s full interview below.

Craig, who played in just three games this past season as a junior for Inlet Grove due to an ACL injury, spoke on what it means for him to be a Muckstepper.

“It’s hard work; it don’t come easy,” Craig said. “We gotta put in extra hours of work. We gotta work harder than everybody just to get half the credit.”

Craig – who started out at Glades Day as a freshman in 2021 and as a sophomore in 2022 before transferring to Inlet Grove in 2023 and now to Palm Beach Gardens in 2024 – has been closely mentored and developed by Cre’Von for much of his childhood.

It is a proud moment when an uncle can see his nephew (5-foot-9, 150 pounds) growing up right before his eyes.

Watch Cre’Von’s full interview below.

We are going to stay on top of Craig’s overall development and more.
