Yeah… Joey’s 24/40 and 2 int against Miss state was so much better. Joey had a lot more yards passing but may of those came on big plays.. a runner like Leavitt would thrive with our scheme imo. Doesn’t matter tho because our defense looks to be much worse next year if we don’t get some players.

Yep Our offense has bogged down a ton the last 3 seasons bc the QB cant add that run game layer to it. It just opens up so much more stuff run and pass that hasnt been there with Joe, Nico, Joey.


When Hendo got a few gash runs there was always a wide open throw downfield following soon after

Different seasons and Joey was still 10% better in completions. Mississippi states defense was much improved in 2025. Look at Leavitt’s game against state in 2024 then compare to Nico.

Haven’t done too deep a dive on his film or anything yet and won’t waste my time unless he signs, but I’d say this to the naysayers:

Consider his OL being overmatched in the games he played against higher level competition. And that Joey had a 56 completion % in his 2024 season at Appalachian. Trust the process.

He’s a playmaker that loves to scramble out of the pocket. He’s really elusive can juke and spin move ppl out their shoes. Can throw really well on the run. His o line rarely gave him a clean pocket. He’s definitely a dual threat qb. I’d imagine if the Tennessee training staff thinks he can be 100% by the start of the season they’ll go all in for him. His film looks a lot like Johnny football type of talent where he will make a crazy play out of nothing when he’s scrambling. I’d say Heupel and the talent at wr/o line protection would easily increase his completion %.

Figured the was thread worthy

Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt: The top-ranked player in the transfer portal is set to visit Tennessee on Wednesday as quarterback Sam Leavitt comes to town. The former Arizona State signal-caller saw his redshirt-sophomore season cut short after seven games due to a foot injury but threw for 4,513 yards with 34 touchdowns and nine interceptions as a starting quarterback for the Sun Devils in two seasons. He also added 743 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground during the span while completing 61.3 percent of his passes.

Leavitt was the Big 12 Newcomer and Freshman of the Year, leading Arizona State to the College Football Playoff in 2024. Leavitt saw interest from Texas Tech and Kentucky during the cycle before settling on quarterbacks and is coming off a visit from LSU.

Leavitt is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday evening. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

Interesting to note LSU is interested. I think it all depends on how accurate the following is. To me, it's a huge risk if he is high dollar. Let's say he was a hit for someone else, but we got someone close to as good. That's a risk I would be willing to take over paying high dollar and having a complete bust. So, if the latter is a real potential, no way.

Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt suffered a season-ending foot injury in late 2025, requiring surgery for a lingering lower-body issue (likely a Lisfranc ligament tear) that he aggravated multiple times, potentially impacting his future NFL Draft prospects and leading to his eventual transfer from ASU. The injury, which followed a tough season where he was heavily sacked, forced him out in early November, with a recovery timeline of around six months, sidelining him from the Combine and spring practices.
Recovery from a Lisfranc injury varies significantly by severity, from 6-12 weeks for minor cases to 6-12 months or more for severe injuries needing surgery, often involving 6-8 weeks non-weight-bearing, followed by physical therapy, with full return to sports potentially taking up to a year or more, as cartilage damage can lead to long-term arthritis.

A Lisfranc injury requiring surgery is extremely serious and can significantly derail or end a professional athlete's career, though it's not an absolute death sentence, with many returning at a high level, but often with reduced performance, chronic pain, or needing further procedures. While high return-to-play rates (over 80%) exist, many athletes experience long-term issues like arthritis, chronic pain, reduced functionality, and decreased league participation, making a full return to pre-injury form difficult.

Recovery Timeline by Treatment Type
  • Outcomes & Statistics
    • High Return Rate (to play): Many athletes (around 83-94%) do return to some level of sport.
    • Reduced Performance: A significant portion (around 20%) sees decreased league participation or performance upon return, facing challenges like chronic pain.
    • Career Impact: Some high-level athletes never regain their previous form, with famous examples like Duce Staley never fully recovering.
