Report: Arizona State transfer QB Sam Leavitt to visit Miami today

After weeks of rumors, there’s finally something real to chew on in Miami’s quarterback transfer hunt.

According to Pete Thamel, former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt is visiting Coral Gables today. He’s already taken visits to LSU, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and now Miami is officially in the mix as things begin to heat.

In the 2024 season at Arizona State, he threw for over 2,800 yards, tossed 24 touchdowns against just six interceptions, and added more than 400 rushing yards with five scores on the ground.

Even in an injury-shortened 2025 campaign, Leavitt stayed productive. He passed for 1,600+ yards, threw 10 touchdowns with only three picks, and rushed for another 300 yards and five touchdowns.

Miami’s interest checks out. Under Mario Cristobal, the Hurricanes have been aggressive in the transfer portal and reliable when it comes to quarterback development. From Cam Ward, who went on to become the No. 1 overall pick, to Carson Beck, whose NFL future looks bright, Miami has built real credibility at the position.

LFG!!! Don't let him leave campus without becoming a Cane.

This dude having the skill guys around him that we do, along with our OL, yea, we'd be cooking with gas!

This guy was at his best playing along side a big strong rb that dominated the playoffs. Who do we know like that?

Not to jinx it - but this guy is a fool if he doesn't come here. Which team can boast the o-line, rb room, Malachi toney, and a badass D that we got? And oh yea, we are not sparing a cent on NIL deals. A no-brainer.

agreed! He'd set himself up perfectly to have an All-American type year and then go in the first round

Read his brother reps him and is asking for the school to either sign more of his talent OR provide him with additional players to rep.

I remember reading a couple of weeks ago that he'd be out for up to 6 months. He got injured early November

If true, he needs another agent.

Are the rumors true about his brother being his agent and wanting whatever school his brother signs with to funnel “business” his way as a part of the deal?

I wonder if LSU, Kentucky, and Tennessee all showed them their playoff highlights like we most certainly will.

Don't care about the character concerns or brother as the agent nonsense, even if they are legit. Do care that he will miss most or all of the spring.

Would prefer Simpson but fine with Leavitt. His mobility will add a wrinkle that we aren't used to having.

If even remotely true, you tell Sam he needs to get his brother in check or you wish them both on their way. It's an easy adult conversation.

There's a lot of ******* family members out there. You just don't let them at the adults table. If they aren't kept in check by the player and insist on being a center piece, you show the family the door.
