Sam Leavitt News, Rumors, Updates - LSU Tigers

Expected to play vs. Oklahoma State Leavitt (ribs) is expected to be available for Saturday's trip to Oklahoma State, Logan Stanley of AZ Central reports.

Impact Head coach Kenny Dillingham announced at his Monday news conference that the Sun Devils' starting quarterback has been cleared to return from his rib injury. Barring any setbacks, look for Leavitt to handle his regular workload under center, and that would mean Jeff Sims would return to a bench role.

Questionable for Nov. 2 Leavitt (ribs) is questionable for the Sun Devils' game scheduled for Nov. 2 at Oklahoma State, Brad Denny of CBS 5 Phoenix reports.

Impact Leavitt's head coach Kenny Dillingham described the quarterback as "50/50" or "60/40" in terms of him being available at Oklahoma State. With the benefit of a bye week, Leavitt will look to get back into the fold and reclaim his starting QB position over Jeff Sims, who performed decently but not excellently during his recent start at Cincinnati.

Out two-to-four weeks Leavitt is out two-to-four weeks due to a rib injury, Chris Karpman of 247Sports reports.

Impact According to an earlier announcement publicized by Karpman, Leavitt suffered a hard hit during Arizona State's game Saturday against Utah. The resulting rib injury will force him to miss this Saturday's game at Cincinnati. In his place, Jeff Sims will be ASU's starting quarterback then. However, Leavitt may not have to miss out multiple games if two weeks is the minimum time he misses. On the other hand, he will be re-evaluated after the bye week, so him missing out several games is definitely on the table.

Keeps offense humming in victory Leavitt was 11-for-18 passing for 154 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Friday's 27-19 victory versus Utah. He also had six rushes for 22 yards.

Impact The Sun Devis continue to look like contenders, as they took care of one of their tougher opponents on the schedule Friday night. Leavitt has a lot of talent around him, and his efficiency in delivering the ball to his playmakers is critical to the team's success. His passing numbers have generally been modest, but much of his production flows to Jordyn Tyson, providing a nice dual stack for fantasy purposes.

Returns in second half Leavitt (shoulder) returned to Friday's game against Utah in the second half.

Impact Leavitt departed the contest in the second quarter, and while it was believed he wasn't going to return, he was seen under center in the second half, pushing Jeff Sims back to his backup role.

Leaves to locker room Friday Leavitt departed Friday's game against Utah in the second quarter after taking a nasty hit and went to the locker room after a brief examination in the medical tent where he appear...

Impact No diagnosis has been revealed, but Leavitt left straight from the medical tent into the locker room with a towel over his head and without his helmet, so the early signs aren't encouraging. Jeff Sims replaced Leavitt and finished that drive with a two-yard touchdown run. If Leavitt is unable to return, which seems to be the most likely scenario, then Sims would play the rest of the game under center.

Heroic dual-threat work in win Leavitt was 14-for-24 passing for 157 yards, four touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 35-31 victory over Kansas. He also had 10 rushes for 77 yards.

Impact Leavitt did a little bit of everything in the win, and his solid results make Arizona State look like a contender. He's formed a stellar connection with wideout Jordyn Tyson, who was responsible for two of Leavitt's four touchdown passes. With Cam Skattebo behind him, the team's offense is humming on all cylinders. Leavitt and the Sun Devils will try to keep it going against Utah on Friday.

Solid in narrow defeat Leavitt completed 22 of 38 passes for 282 yards and one interception during Saturday's 30-22 defeat to Texas Tech. He also had nine rushes for 25 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Leavitt's play through four games has lifted the pre-season expectations of the team, but he was unable to close the gap after the defense allowed Texas Tech to take an early 14-0 lead. The redshirt freshman threw his second pick of the season, but he looked very poised in the pocket and scored one rushing touchdown in the contest.

Footwork salvages line in win Leavitt was 10-for-20 passing for 69 yards during Saturday's 30-23 win against Mississippi State. He also had 11 rushes for 68 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Leavitt only threw for 69 yards in the win, but he was able to vanquish Mississippi with two rushing touchdowns out of the backfield. The team went up 30-3 before giving back much of its lead, but Leavitt and Cameron Skattebo kept piling up rushing yards and eventually held off the Rebels. The Sun Devils are much improved, but Leavitt will need to step up his passing as the team enters conference play.

ASU coach Kenny Dillingham breaks down quarterback Sam Leavitt's debut Leavitt and the Sun Devils cruised past visiting Wyoming 48-7 on Saturday night at Mountain America Stadium.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Solid game in debut with ASU Leavitt was 14-for-22 passing for 258 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 48-7 win against Wyoming. He also had eight rushes for 47 yards.

Impact Leavitt's decision to transfer to Tempe appears to be paying off early in the season. Although Wyoming was a weak opponent, Leavitt was exceptionally calm in the pocket and got every receiver involved in the offense. The Sun Devils have several dynamic players on offense, and the future is bright for the squad if Leavitt can continue this kind of production.
