Impact Leavitt missed spring practice after foot surgery but remains on track to return in time for fall camp. His anticipated recovery is a positive sign for LSU heading into the 2026 campaign, as he is projected to solidify his position as the team's starting quarterback after transferring from Arizona State. His full availability for fall camp should allow him ample time to build chemistry within the offense.

Expected back for summer workouts Leavitt is expected to be fully cleared from his foot injury this summer, according to Lane Kiffin via On3.

Impact The LSU quarterback missed spring practice after foot surgery but is on track to return in time for preseason activities. His anticipated recovery keeps him in position to solidify his role as the Tigers' starting signal-caller heading into the 2026 campaign.

Spotted on crutches Leavitt (foot) is donning crutches and is likely out for the remainder of spring ball, per The Daily Advertiser.

Impact Leavitt is probably out for spring ball after he was spotted on crutches. He was seen going through individual drills outside of full team sessions, but he may be shut down for the rest of LSU's spring session. Leavitt has nothing to gain other than chemistry and reps in his new offense, however, as he's locked into the Tigers' starting role at QB for 2026.

Lane Kiffin addresses high expectations as LSU opens spring practice under its new coach

Goes through individual drills Leavitt (foot) went through individual drills during Tuesday's practice, Glen West of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact As expected, Leavitt is throwing footballs during spring practice, so all that needs to happen for him to be 100 percent is for his lower body to catch up to his upper body. From a movement standpoint, the quarterback's injured foot remains a problem, so he will remain questionable as LSU's spring camp gets underway. Landen Clark and Husan Longstreet will log increased quarterback reps in place of their injured teammate.

Likely to be limited in spring Leavitt (foot) is expected to throw and participate in other football activities, but will likely be held out of "team stuff" this spring, according to head coach Lane Kiffin, per...

Impact Leavitt missed the final five games of the season for Arizona State with a foot injury, and proceeded to transfer to LSU ahead of his redshirt junior year. He'll likely be limited in spring practice, but he'll still manage to throw and reportedly even partake in some 7-on-7 work. Leavitt is essentially guaranteed to be the Tigers' starting gunslinger, so him being held out during spring practice won't change much for him. It will also likely lead to more reps for former five-star prospect Husan Longstreet, which should be beneficial for all involved.
