Lol you have to commit way in advance and Sam didn't know how far along his recovery was going to be. Don't blame him. Clemson game isn't far off.

Isn’t the age limit 26?

Worst part is, he'll get a hangnail and miss week 10 against middle Ohio Jr high and get granted a 14th year of eligibility in 2027.

Where’s preseason heisman trophy winner and national champion Sam Leavitt?

You think he's Heisman and natty level?

Wow. That's a bad sign for him.

But to answer your question -

quote:
Both South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers and LSU's Sam Leavitt turned down invites. There hasn't been an official reason announced by Sellers, but Leavitt is still working his way back from a season-ending injury that he suffered last year, as reported by Nola.com's Jeff Duncan."Leavitt, who attended the MPA last year, was only recently cleared to participate in summer workouts and has been restricted from full-scale, on-field passing work due to his recovery from Lisfranc surgery," Duncan wrote.

Other notable declines:

quote:
Oregon's Dante Moore is one of the hottest names in college football, as many felt he could have been a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Instead, the former five-star recruit opted to return to Eugene, and is clearly focused on the upcoming season ahead.

quote:
Joining him as a fellow Big Ten quarterback who turned down the MPA is Indiana's Josh Hoover. However, this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, as head coach Curt Cignetti didn't allow Fernando Mendoza to attend last year's camp either.
