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.

Surely these WRs aren’t committing without some knowledge of our QB situation.

Anyone know who this article is referencing? Grok says Leavitt, but I'm not sure how trustworthy that is given that Longstreet is on campus. Hoping Grok has its wires twisted.

Not sure but lSU fans on TD still think they have leavitt.

Looking at Geaux247 (LSU board), barely anything on Leavitt.

They have a thread titled "Why LSU, Husan Longstreet is a QB solution that could work". Their board isn't even giving the staff any crap about that being a signal that they may not get Leavitt (as our various boards surely would)..

We just picked up a couple of our targets at wr this weekend. They probably have a pretty good idea who will be throwing to them.

I would say concerned. I dont think anyone wants to go from a National Championship game,
to starting Emory on opening day.

Where’s he going brother?

Leavitt just completed a visit to us after blowing off Lane at a Knoxville airport. During his visit with us, two outside wide receivers committed. The other teams that Leavitt has been connected to (Oregon, Tennessee, and LSU) are now being connected to three other QBs (Raiola, Pribula, and Longstreet).

We can offer Leavitt a **** load of money, a preseason top 5 team, favorites to win the ACC, CFP darlings, the city of Miami, a friendly offensive system, a great OL, a stable of RBs, Toney, and the best collection of FR WRs in the country.

If you were to put all of those things into a pot what would be the product?

He’s a Cane.
