Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt to miss the rest of the season because of a lingering foot injury
Leavitt, Big 12 preseason offensive player of the year, will miss the rest of the season due to surgery on a foot injury sustained Sept. 20, coach said.
- On Friday, Arizona State announced starting quarterback Sam Leavitt will miss the rest of the year due to a right foot injury and undergo season-ending surgery, coach Kenny Dillingham said.
- Leavitt has spent much of the season dealing with a foot injury that has kept him in and out of Arizona State's lineup, and coach Dillingham said it hasn't progressed as hoped and could become long-term.
- In recent games, Leavitt played in last week's loss to Houston, completing 18 of 35 passes for 270 yards and a touchdown before leaving in the fourth quarter and was seen in a walking boot on Tuesday.
- Dillingham said Leavitt won't travel to Iowa State for Saturday's game as he prepares for surgery, and Arizona State will start veteran Jeff Sims at quarterback with the team at 5-3.
- Leavitt's absence removes a player who led the program to its first Big 12 title and College Football Playoff appearance in 2024, passing for 2,885 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions.
