LSU’s roster is currently without a quarterback.

The biggest names in the transfer portal are filing through Baton Rouge. Next up is Arizona State transfer Sam Leavitt. The former Sun Devil led his team to the College Football Playoff a season ago and has thrown for 34 touchdowns against nine interceptions in two seasons as the starter.

His 2025 season was cut short due to a Lisfranc injury that required surgery on his foot. He will not be available for spring practice at his new school. The prognosis does not appear to limit him once Fall camp rolls around in August.

On3 and 247sports rated Leavitt and four-star prospect coming out of high school. He began his career at Michigan State before transferring over to Arizona State where he blossomed into the Big 12 Freshman/Newcomer of the Year.

Leavitt visited Kentucky over the weekend and could meet with Texas Tech as wel. LSU entertained Cincinnati transfer Brendan Sorsby this weekend.
