Arizona State QB Transfer Sam Leavitt Signing With LSU

As reported by ESPN, the top quarterback in the transfer portal, Sam Leavitt, is reportedly signing with Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers after visiting several other schools.

The news came from ESPN's Pete Thamel, who mentioned on Monday morning that Sam Leavitt is likely to choose the LSU Tigers over other schools like Miami, Kentucky, and Tennessee, where he also took visits.

During the 2024 season at Arizona State, he passed for more than 2,800 yards, threw 24 touchdowns with just six interceptions, and added over 400 rushing yards along with five rushing touchdowns. Even though his 2025 season was cut short by injuries, Leavitt remained effective. He threw for over 1,600 yards, completed 10 touchdown passes with only three interceptions, and rushed for an additional 300 yards and five touchdowns.

Now, Miami will need to focus on finding a new quarterback. Whoever they target, they will likely pursue hard after missing out on the top quarterback.

This situation is disappointing... But we’ll see who steps up next.

He has Lane on his knees at the airport and we have money.

At some point you have to be able to walk away from a deal. He can come back once to renegotiate but he can't keep using LSU and Miami for leverage against each other. He asked for an offer we made it. Then LSU upped their offer. We can match that and he can take it or leave it. But you can't let him keep going back and forth to get better offers.

I wonder if they brought in Beck to talk to him? Could not ask for a better recruiter given his own story. Super pumped.

This is his first time on campus, no?

Would you expect him to accept any offer before talking the visit?

Somebody mentioned in another thread his number was $4mil. I'm assuming it was agreed upon before he even showed up on campus. But I'm just guessing here.

If we lock this down, I’m willing to reconsider bringing back Riley Williams, as long as the announcers refer to him by his previous team mascot.
Just sayin’.

It's definitely Coleman. Let that kid develop for a year and he will be a baller for the next 2-3 years. He has an elite arm and can scoot

Coleman is 100 times better than Nickel. He’s the future
