'26 ASU Transfer QB Sam Leavitt (LSU)

[BigOrangeTrain]

The surgery was back in November iirc.

Yeah but someone said LSU medical said he would t be ready until August

 

[berryvol]

So did Aguilar.

We should be doing better than Aguilar in year 6. Also having a QB that doesn’t start practice until the fall back to back years isn’t exactly reassuring.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

What was the injury?

A serious lisfranc foot injury

Aguilar had the 3rd most passing yards in a season in UT history. How much better should we be doing?

 

[Revived2002]

I am not sure if he ends up here or not but Heupel is surely taking all of this into consideration. My guess is he probably makes a full recovery 6 months post op.

My guess is he comes here, takes the money, the sits on the injured list all year before declaring for the draft

lol

preferably Joey gets a waiver.

Bad Injury
Step up in competition
More physical in the trenches


At minimum he’s 10000% going to have some sort of flare up during the season that’ll hold him out.


I agree he’s the best QB by a large margin if fully healthy.

He did not tear anything so the injury could have been worse.

 

[Legion of Doom]

A serious lisfranc foot injury

No tears or ligament damage. Could have been worse.

 

[Skooter]

No tears or ligament damage. Could have been worse.

This is incorrect. Lis franc is a ligament tear and he wouldn’t have surgery and sidelined for 6 months minimum if no ligament damage. Broken bones heal much faster.

I’m glad Joey had such a great season and I’ll love him forever for what he did in our time of need. He’s not a championship level QB and anyone who says otherwise is being disingenuous. Racking up passing yards isn’t the end all be all.

"Severity: The injury was significant enough to require surgery, but appears to be a Lisfranc ligament sprain rather than a complete tear or fracture-dislocation."

I’ll trust our coaches and the Ut doctors evaluation over the drs in Volnation.

Still a pretty serious injury though.

You don’t surgically repair a ligament when no bone is broken unless there is some type of tear. A sprain does not mean “no tear.” There are grades.

I'm definitely not trying to downplay the significance. He will likely feel the effects for the rest of his life.

Coaches know nothing about Lis franc. Tag us when UT drs evaluate him, which won’t be until after/if he signs. They will not do an MRI on the visit to evaluate ligament healing.

Calm down or show receipts (you keep saying “someone said”).
All that has been published is that it’s a 6 month recovery March-April timeline. That does not equal August. What has been said is he would miss Spring and be ready for Fall practice in August.
That does not preclude him from Summer workouts, same as Joey, at least what has been published to date. Is that a concern? Sure. Is it a long term issue? Maybe?

But maybe he will be fine and just thought Lane was a douche…

 

[TNinSC]

The last time we had a qb from Oregon, it worked out well.

 

[johnfnkelly]

The run game would hit a different level if we have somebody at the helm who’s a threat.

Don’t disagree with that at all

Or a few of us may have been around ortho and extremity injuries and surgeries for 30 years. Surgeons won’t place pins, plate and/or screws thru a ligament that’s not torn
I will say there are more options now to try to speed up healing, such as hydrolized collagen peptides, which weren’t an option years ago. Collagen speeds up ligament damage recovery.
