Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt Out for Season With Right-Foot Surgery

Veteran Jeff Sims starts at Iowa State.

Overview

  • Coach Kenny Dillingham announced Friday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM that Leavitt will undergo season-ending surgery and will not travel for Saturday's game.
  • The injury began Sept. 20 at Baylor and lingered through October, with Leavitt missing the Utah game, limping off late against Houston, and appearing in a walking boot at practice.
  • Arizona State turns to sixth-year senior Jeff Sims, who filled in against Utah and late versus Houston, with freshman Cam Dyer available behind him.
  • Leavitt's 2025 totals include 1,628 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions plus five rushing scores; ASU enters the weekend 5-3.
  • Dillingham said Leavitt's longer-term plans remain undecided, noting the quarterback is draft-eligible and that next steps will be determined after medical evaluations.
