The Blaine, Minnesota native averaged 13.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season while shooting 45.9 percent from the field. 

Leifker delivered one of the top individual performances in the WIAC this season, pouring in a career-high 31 points against UW-Eau Claire on January 14, shooting 10-of-16 from the field and 11-of-13 from the free-throw line. He also grabbed a season-best 13 rebounds against UW-Stevens Point. 

In addition to his All-WIAC Honorable Mention selection, Leifker was named the 2026 WIAC Men's Basketball Max Sparger Scholar-Athlete. The senior captain carried a 3.963 GPA while pursuing his MBA in Strategic Leadership and has scored 1,115 career points, highlighting his excellence both on the court and in the classroom.
