Updated 2026 LSU Football Roster Changes Tracker

Leavitt committed the Tigers on Monday morning over Kentucky, Tennessee, and Miami.

The 6-2, 205-pound quarterback from West Linn, Oregon, played in seven games this past season before suffering a season-ending injury on Oct. 25 against Houston. During those seven games, Leavitt passed for 1,628 yards, ten touchdowns, and three interceptions.

During his redshirt freshman season last year, Leavitt led the Sun Devils to a Big 12 Championship and CFP playoff birth. He passed for 2,885 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2024. He also rushed for 443 yards with five rushing touchdowns.

Leavitt began his college career at Michigan State but only played in four games as a true freshman in 2023.

As a spectator, watching the staff assemble the team has been interesting. With the QB and wide receiver room filling in, I'm interested now to watch how the offensive line comes together. It's all been entertaining.

we have new OL coaches.....lets hope they can develop linemen quickly so Leavitt can have enough time in the pocket to throw those darts we saw in the highlight reel!!
