William Neil Leversee (born June 2, 1964) is an American former international rugby union player.
Born in Van Nuys, California, Leversee grew up in La Cañada and began playing rugby in college with the Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara, where his nickname "Chief" was coined. He was a two-time All-American with the Gauchos.[1]
Leversee, a 6 ft 3 in lock, played rugby in Natal, South Africa, while undertaking further tertiary studies and in 1994 became the first American to compete in Italy's top division when he joined Mirano.[2]
Capped 15 times for the United States, Leversee was scored a try on his debut match in 1988, helping the Americans defeat Romania. He made the national squad for the 1991 Rugby World Cup and appeared in the match against Italy.[1][3]
