Former Michigan State QB will be Lane Kiffin’s first QB1 at LSU

A former Michigan State quarterback is headed to a prominent SEC program this offseason.

After spending the last two seasons playing for Kenny Dillingham and Arizona State, even leading the Sun Devils to the College Football Playoff in 2024, Sam Leavitt entered the transfer portal following the regular season.

The move was a bit shocking because he proved that he could make the playoff at Arizona State, and when healthy, he’s a legit Heisman candidate.

However, he was “shopping around” near the end of the season which surprised many, and he was likely looking for a nice payday for his junior season — and he likely got one.
