Sam Leavitt Gets Huge Warning as LSU HC Lane Kiffin Lands QB

Our Summary

LSU Tigers head football coach Lane Kiffin has secured former Arizona State Sun Devils quarterback Sam Leavitt for the 2026 season, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. This acquisition is part of Kiffin's effort to rejuvenate the Tigers following the tenure of Brian Kelly.
