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.

If that's the case than Coleman and Nickel never should have been recruited. Everything we have seen from Emory in actual games has been awful. He didn't even look against Bethune Cookman and his 2nd half against Iowa State was some of the worst QB play we have ever seen in Canes history.

Wait so you have to be field ready in year one or two?

Not the case for all. Short memories here

Idk man. He’s still a true freshman. He was a 3 star for s reason. I didn’t have Nickel as the starter on my bingo card for next year anyway. I’d honestly hope EW has a better grasp on the system in year 3 than a year 1 guy. JMO.

He was a 4 start on other recruiting sites, but I still don’t understand why everybody here think that just because some freshman start nowadays that all freshman sophomores are supposed to be ready because that’s not the freaking case

I guess this sounds like a good time to remind everybody that all four teams in the semifinals this year had transferred quarterbacks, and the two teams in the finals this year and last year had transferred quarterbacks, but yeah, shout out to everyone that dies on the “your freshman and sophomore quarterbacks need to be ready to go or else that means they suck and you didn’t develop them” hill

I’m very shocked to see a prospective employee holding employers hostage for his services when he knows he’s valuable

I don’t want to spread insane rumors out of nowhere but it could be MONEY related

At this point, bring in Lagway and run what GT runs. Plain and simple.

We can’t just say “**** it” to next year. We need to kept building on the momentum.

I see you @The Franchise in the emojis on this one -you and I are spirit animals even if you’re silent and only using emoji
