A day after quarterback Sam Leavitt no-showed at Arizona State's annual team banquet, multiple reports say he is indeed headed to the transfer portal, which officially opens Jan. 2.

Leavitt, who helped the Sun Devils to an unexpected Big 12 championship and a berth in the College Football Playoff in 2024, threw for 1,628 yards and 10 touchdowns, with three interceptions, with a foot injury limiting him to seven games. He last played against Houston on Oct. 25. He had foot surgery during the first week of November.

Leavitt did not travel with the team to road games. He was with the team at practices leading up to the Territorial Cup game against Arizona. His teammates have said he has been at the football facility every day.

Leavitt was at ASU for two seasons, following his transfer from Michigan State after the 2023 campaign. He became one of the team's most popular players, along with Cam Skattebo and Jordyn Tyson, who led ASU on its magical championship run.

Whether Leavitt returned or not, Dillingham was likely going to pursue a quarterback in the transfer portal. Leavitt's replacement, Jeff Sims, is out of eligibility, and Sims' backup over the last few games has been a true freshman, Cam Dyer.

The Sun Devils have a highly touted quarterback, Jake Fette, who was part of the just-signed recruiting class.
