Sam Leavitt to Suit Up for the Tigers: Top-Ranked QB Sheds Light on Decision
A dramatic turn of events has unfolded in the College Football transfer portal as the No.1-ranked quarterback, Sam Leavitt, has made a decision regarding his future plans. The highly sought-after signal-caller had been fielding offers from several top-tier programs but ultimately decided to don the purple and gold of LSU.
Leavitt's choice is no surprise given his impressive rΓ©sumΓ© in college football. In two seasons at Arizona State, he amassed 4,513 yards, 34 touchdowns, and nine interceptions while also chipping in with 749 rushing yards and ten more scores. The dynamic quarterback led the Sun Devils to a College Football Playoff appearance in 2024.
Leavitt's decision marks a significant coup for new head coach Lane Kiffin, who has been busy assembling his roster in the transfer portal. Other notable additions include four-star Florida receiver Eugene Wilson and four-star Ole Miss wideout Winston Watkins.
While Leavitt's arrival is certainly a boost to the Tigers' chances, the quarterback market remains active with several top-tier signal-callers still on the board. Husan Longstreet of USC, Ethan Grunkemeyer of Penn State, Beau Pribula of Missouri, and Eli Holstein of Pittsburgh all remain viable options.
As the transfer portal continues to shape up, it's clear that 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year in college football. With Leavitt at the helm, LSU fans are undoubtedly eager to see what this dynamic quarterback can do on the gridiron.
