Leidl was a versatile performer on the lacrosse field who competed at multiple positions throughout his career. As a freshman, he was one of the team's primary face-off specialists for a squad that would capture the 1994 MAC title. He became a starting midfielder over the next two seasons and gained First-Team All-MAC status in 1996, when he posted career-highs for goals (29), assists (18), and points (47). As a senior, Leidl took on more of a defensive role but still posted 11 goals and 10 assists on his way to earning MAC Co-Player of the Year distinction. He finished his career with 56 goals, 35 assists, and 326 ground balls, which ranked sixth in school history at the time of his induction, while winning 53 percent (148-279) of his face-off attempts. He helped the Rangers qualify for the ECAC Championships in 1994, 1996, and 1997.

Leidl took his game to another level post-collegiately, competing for the New Jersey/Anaheim Storm of the National Lacrosse League from 2001-04. He went on to represent the United States as a member of the National Indoor Lacrosse Team, helping the squad capture a bronze medal at the 2003 World Indoor Championships in Toronto. From 2002-15, Leidl also served in multiple capacities for the Irish National Lacrosse Team. He initially joined the team as a player and went on to compete at the FIL World Championships in 2002, 2006, and 2010. He was a team captain on the 2006 squad before moving into a role as head coach of the Women's Team that competed in the European Championships in 2008 and the World Cup in 2009.  

In 2022, Leidl returned to his alma mater to become the sixth men's lacrosse head coach in team history. In his first season at the helm, he led the Rangers to their highest victory total in 10 years.
