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.

Don't know enough about Leavitt to know how good he is, but his brother and Kiffin dang sure deserve each other.

This isn’t true. Miami was in it for Sorsby from the jump. We had conversations with his agent the moment the portal opened up…. Tbh Leavitt was the backup option

We never got a visit. we were never serious contenders. Sorsby was linked to Tech by entire industry the minute he entered the portal, he visited there and committed fast. period.

So those two receivers just committed with the expectation that who exactly would be throwing to them??

9-3 is generous if it’s Emory

We play some really bad teams next year.
You could argue we play maybe one Top 40 team the entire season.

This. Two narcissists who love to pimp out their inner circles - enjoy getting steamrolled in Baton Rouge with no OL

Ouch. We played with fire again and this time we finally got burned.

I doubt Ty Simpson pulls out of the draft and comes to Miami. I think we're screwed.

Maybe pull in Beau Pribula or Husan Longstreet? He can compete with Emory and the rest for QB1.

Just really no good options anymore.

We do not need a first round talent at QB. We need a game manager, preferably one who is mobile. They will sign someone who fits that description and Leavitt will crash out at LSU. Bookmark this.
