Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt Leads Big 12 Preseason Spotlight

Arizona State University quarterback Sam Leavitt has rapidly emerged as a top NFL draft prospect and a leader for the Sun Devils heading into the 2025 season. After transferring from Michigan State, Leavitt quickly became the starting quarterback, earning Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year honors and leading Arizona State to a Big 12 Championship and a College Football Playoff appearance. Recognized for his competitiveness, intelligence, and leadership, Leavitt was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 team and is in Heisman Trophy discussions, with expectations high for his sophomore season. His strong connection with wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, also a projected first-round pick, has been a key factor in the team's offensive success. Despite his rising profile, Leavitt remains focused on improvement and prefers letting his on-field performance speak for itself. The Sun Devils' returning core, including offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo and several offensive starters, sets the stage for Leavitt to elevate his game even further in 2025.
