SEC rival not giving up on Sam Leavitt despite reports of LSU commitment

Monday morning delivered the news that Tiger fans have been waiting for, as Sam Leavitt committed to LSU for the 2026 season. The former Arizona State QB is ranked as the No. 2 quarterback on the market according to Saturday Blitz, and Lane Kiffin now has his QB1 for his first season in Baton Rouge.

Leavitt ultimately chose the Tigers in what came down to a contentious 3-team battle between LSU, Tennessee, and Miami (FL). Kiffin's recruitment of Leavitt wasn't always a smooth ride, but he gets the job done and lands the talented dual-threat playmaker.
