LSU officially announced the signing of Arizona State transfer quarterback Sam Leavitt on Monday evening.

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.

I heard a story about when Sam was 17 years-old. He is minding his own business and he is in a park. This guy, a stranger to Sam, takes a piece of gum out of his pocket. He puts it in his mouth and then he just throws the wrapper on the ground. He publicly litters. And Sam saw that! He had to see these things at a young age. Sure somebody came along, picked it up, and threw it in a trash can, but for the few moments where that sat on the ground and the law was violated in his neighborhood...Sam had chaos. He experienced anarchy at times in West Linn. There was years when his father didn't even make a-hundred-grand—or barely made a-hundred-grand—and sure they had a maid, but she only came twice a week. What do you think happened the other five days? You think those dishes washed themselves? You think those clothes got themselves in the hamper?

the relevance of this comment evades me. is the gum wrapper a synonym? like why is this such a horrific story that it struck enough of a nerve that you felt like you needed a whole paragraph about it? Sorry, but gum wrappers on the ground....yea

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!!
