Star LDS quarterback rumored to be leaving Big 12 program, eying transfer portal

A disappointing season for the Arizona State Sun Devils is only getting worse with news that star quarterback Sam Leavitt already has one foot out the door. Leavitt, heralded during the offseason as one of the best returning quarterbacks in all of college football, has struggled to meet expectations since the departure of Thor's hammer in the backfield, Cam Skattebo.

Kenny Dillingham's team was one play away from advancing to the semifinal round of the College Football Playoff last season, when a fourth-and-long in overtime turned into a Texas touchdown. This season, as the highest-ranked Big 12 representative in the preseason AP Poll, the Sun Devils have failed to meet their self-imposed sky-high expectations.
