ASU QB Sam Leavitt Expected To Enter Transfer Portal After Banquet No-Show

Multiple reports now expect the injured sophomore to enter the NCAA transfer portal once it opens on Jan. 2.

Overview

  • Leavitt did not attend Arizona State’s team banquet, where he was the only captain absent, according to people in attendance.
  • Head coach Kenny Dillingham acknowledged the situation at the event and told the audience the program wished Leavitt well, whatever comes next.
  • Reports on Monday indicated Leavitt intends to hit the portal when it opens, though no formal entry has been confirmed yet.
  • On3 previously reported Leavitt’s camp was gauging interest with other programs, a claim his brother said did not reflect a final decision at the time.
  • Leavitt’s season ended after a Lisfranc-related foot injury and early November surgery; he finished with 1,628 passing yards and 10 touchdowns, and ASU is expected to explore portal options with Jeff Sims out of eligibility and few experienced in-house quarterbacks.
