Kentucky Emerges as Front-Runner for ASU QB Sam Leavitt After Portal Entry

On3 reporting points to the Wildcats as the team to watch following his do-not-contact portal entry.

Overview

  • Sam Leavitt officially entered the transfer portal on Jan. 2 with a do-not-contact tag, making him one of the most sought-after quarterbacks available.
  • On3 reports Kentucky has positioned itself as the lead suitor under new coach Will Stein and OC Joe Sloan, though Oregon, Miami, LSU and Texas Tech are also linked.
  • An On3 Kentucky reporter said Leavitt met Stein on Friday night and that they watched film until midnight, a development that has not been independently confirmed.
  • Arizona State is moving to identify replacements, with Kentucky quarterback Cutter Boley scheduled to take an official visit to Tempe this weekend as the staff weighs cost-conscious options.
  • Leavitt’s market is fueled by a 2024 season that produced a Big 12 title and CFP berth, even as a 2025 foot injury limited him to seven games.
