The possible landing spots for Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt are expanding.
On3.com’s Pete Nakos reported on Dec. 15 that his sources indicate Oregon, Indiana, Miami and LSU are among the top schools interested in Leavitt’s recruitment.
The possible interest from Indiana, Miami and LSU is not new, but the potential interest from Oregon is a new development and could make some sense.
Nakos wrote: “The Ducks currently have Dante Moore at quarterback, but he is viewed as one of the top quarterback options in the 2026 NFL draft if he plans to enter. If he leaves for the draft, the Ducks will need a proven quarterback to step in.”
Leavitt graduated from West Linn High in Oregon.
Miami could be looking for a new QB in the portal with Carson Beck set to graduate. Indiana will need a QB to replace Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza. LSU, with new coach Lane Kiffin, could use a new QB after Garrett Nussmeier’s departure.
More potential landing spots for Sam Leavitt in transfer portal
Ole Miss, Penn State, Florida State, Tennessee and even Big 12 schools Texas Tech and Colorado are some other programs linked to Leavitt, with the list likely to grow.
Leavitt helped lead Arizona State to the Big 12 title in 2024 and had high hopes for this season, but saw injuries derail his sophomore season.
He completed 145-of-239 passes for 1,628 yards and 10 touchdowns, with three passes intercepted, this season.
He also rushed for 306 yards on 73 carries, with five touchdowns.
Leavitt could be in very high demand in the transfer portal, as early reports indicate.
Where will he end up?
