Jakobi Leonard

Kobi Leonard joined the Dirty Birds coaching staff in 2026, bringing a decorated collegiate playing career and a service-oriented professional background to the program. Kobi played his early collegiate career at Berry College, where he earned All-Conference honors in the Southern Athletic Association (SAA), before transferring to Pfeiffer University — where he was again recognized as an All-Conference player in the USA South Conference and was a key contributor on the 2025 USA South Championship team. Throughout his collegiate career, Kobi competed in the NCAA National Tournament, gaining the kind of high-stakes experience he now translates directly into his coaching approach. He graduated from Berry College in 2024 with a degree in Exercise Science and continued his education at Pfeiffer University, where he is currently pursuing his MBA with a focus in sports leadership. Off the field, Kobi serves full-time with Henry County Fire & Rescue as a Licensed Advanced EMT — a role that demands the discipline, composure, and service-oriented mindset he carries into every team and every athlete he works with. With a foundation rooted in athletics, business, and emergency services, Kobi emphasizes discipline, accountability, and resilience in his coaching philosophy — and his passion for developing well-rounded athletes both on and off the field makes him a natural fit on the Dirty Birds sideline.
