Kentucky Emerges as Leading Suitor for ASU QB Sam Leavitt After Portal Entry

On3 now rates Kentucky as a primary destination, raising stakes for ASU’s quarterback search.

Overview

  • Sam Leavitt officially entered the NCAA transfer portal on Friday with a do-not-contact designation.
  • On3 reporting identifies Kentucky as a top contender for Leavitt and indicates the Wildcats are working to secure the first visit under new coach Will Stein and OC Joe Sloan.
  • Other Power Five programs linked to Leavitt include Oregon, Miami, LSU and Texas Tech, signaling a competitive recruitment.
  • Arizona State is pursuing replacements and will host Kentucky quarterback Cutter Boley on an official visit in Tempe this weekend.
  • Leavitt was reportedly making about $3 million at ASU and is expected to command more after a 2024 title run season and a 2025 campaign shortened by a foot injury.
