you can try box jumps, double unders, wind sprints, power cleans, split jerks, squats (weighted and bodyweight), burpees...

Try squatting 3x a week. Heavy day, Light day, and Medium day. That is the principle that Starr's 5x5 was primarily based on and it was designed as a football training program originally. It WILL improve the leg power.
