LSU Tigers football<\/a> is reportedly set to land a coveted transfer on Monday to start Lane Kiffin\u2019s tenure as head coach.<\/p>\n

Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt will likely transfer to the Tigers and play in Baton Rouge next season, ESPN reported<\/a>. Leavitt is one of the top quarterbacks in the transfer portal and reportedly visited Miami and Kentucky en route to his decision.<\/p>\n

LSU\u2019s Garrett Nussmeier graduated following the 2025 season and Michael Van Buren transferred to South Florida<\/a> upon Kiffin\u2019s arrival at LSU from Ole Miss. LSU was reportedly also targeting Washington\u2019s Desmond Williams Jr. before he chose to stay with the Huskies.<\/p>\n

Leavitt initially transferred from Michigan State to Arizona State following his freshman season in 2023. He became a star under Kenny Dillingham\u2019s tutelage and had the Sun Devils in the College Football Playoff in 2024, only losing to the Texas Longhorns by eight points in the first round.<\/p>\n

He only played in seven games in 2025<\/a>, throwing for 1,628 yards and 10 touchdowns before he suffered a foot injury that required season-ending surgery.<\/p>\n

Upon Leavitt\u2019s decision to enter the transfer portal, Dillingham had warm words for him.<\/p>\n

“Big 12 champ, put his name on the map, smart\/talented player! Going to succeed wherever he goes,” Dillingham wrote on X in December.<\/p>\n

LSU had high expectations for the 2025 season. But the team was only able to muster seven wins. The team fired Brian Kelly in the middle of the year.<\/p>\n

Kiffin joined LSU after Ole Miss won its Egg Bowl rivalry game against Mississippi State. The Rebels made the College Football Playoff and got to the semifinals<\/a>.<\/p>\n
