Return to ASU doubtful Leavitt (foot) is unlikely to return to Arizona State for 2026, Steve Wiltfong of On3.com reports.
Impact After 2025, Leavitt has two years of collegiate eligibility remaining. Leavitt's camp is confident that the quarterback can log a better opportunity elsewhere. So when the NCAA's transfer portal opens on Jan. 2, it looks like Leavitt will enter with an intent to find what he believes is a better program. The quarterback getting it looks likely, hence why it seems doubtful that he will re-enroll at Arizona State.

Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt to miss the rest of the season because of a lingering foot injury
Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt will miss the rest of the year because of a lingering right foot injuryOCTOBER 31 • Associated Press
Unavailable for season's remainder Leavitt (foot) will undergo season-ending surgery, Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Leavitt's health has not been 100 percent for all of October, as the quarterback has battled a foot injury since Sept. 20, and he will cap off the disastrous month by having his 2025 season publicly cut short due to recurring problems. Even with issues, he has been a relatively reliable passer, having not logged any interceptions since Week 3. Arizona State's road back to the College Football Playoff has taken a massive hit without Leavitt available, with the Sun Devils expected to rely on backup quarterback Jeff Sims moving forward. Leavitt's 2025 season just fell short of 2,000 total yards, but he did manage at least 15 touchdowns for a second consecutive campaign.

Not expected to play vs. Cyclones Leavitt (undisclosed) isn't expected to be available for Arizona State in Week 10 against Iowa State, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.
Impact Leavitt was banged up during Arizona State's loss to Houston, but ultimately returned to action after a brief visit to the locker room. He wound up still throwing for 270 yards and a score, but the quarterback appears to not be at full strength coming off the injury and his status is in doubt for Saturday afternoon. If he can't go, Jeff Simms should draw the start once again.

Inefficient in Saturday's loss Leavitt completed 18 of 35 passes for 270 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-16 defeat against Houston. He also had six rushes for 22 yards.
Impact Leavitt did not have a great outing Saturday as he completed just over 50 percent of his passes and lost a fumble. He threw one touchdown, a three-yard pass to Cameron Harpole in the fourth quarter. Some of his lack of production could be explained by his star receiver Jordan Tyson (hamstring) being out. Leavitt also left the game in the first quarter with an injury but made a quick return, then missed the final two drives but if it's unclear if that was performance related or injury related.
