As Lane Kiffin constructs LSU's roster for his first season in Baton Rouge, Tiger fans are eager to see how he approaches the quarterback situation. Michael Van Buren is currently the only scholarship QB slated to return next season, which leaves a lot of question marks as to who LSU's QB1 will be at the start of the 2026 season.
One industry expert has the perfect fit in mind for Kiffin and LSU: Sam Leavitt. J.D. PicKell of On3 stated that Leavitt to LSU "would just make too much sense."
PicKell notes Kiffin's recent track record of developing and elevating QBs from the portal at Ole Miss.
