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.

So basically, it depends on the severity of his injury.

Thanks for posting this.

Bro he’s the number 1/2 QB in the portal for a reason. And don’t forget who our coaches are. They get the most out of QBs usually.

Nico was the #1 portal QB last year and had a pretty unspectacular season.

Also the blind trust in this coaching staff at QB may not be fully earned with how poorly the QB play looked in 2023 and 2024. They did a great job having Joey ready this season, but they’re not batting 1.000 either.

Joe Milton threw for over 2800 yards and 20 TDs, with only 5 picks, while completing 65% of his passes. He also rushed for 300 yards and 7 more TDs. That's over 3000 yds of offense and 27 TDs, with only 5 turnovers.

Not saying Joe played elite or maybe even great, and he was most definitely frustrating at times...but, he was a far cry from "poorly". If that's your definition of poor, you a hard man to impress.

Same goes for Nico. 3000 yds of offense, 22 TDs and 5 INTs. Nothing great, sometimes frustrating as hell; but, nowhere near "poorly".

I wholeheartedly agree. Is my opinion that if you gave Jill Milton the same team Nico had, Joe would have made the playoffs as well and making the playoffs alone removes a bad quarterback play moniker

I’m just more of the opinion that the offensive scheme is generally really good and schemes a lot of open WRs which gives you a very high floor for volume stats and high comp percentage. And as we all know stats don’t necessarily translate to playing ability or Colt Brennan and Kellen Moore would be talked about like Tom and Peyton.

The problem is when you take our cupcake games away, both players look much more average, Nico especially. Joe wasn’t always bad in SEC play but he beat 0 good teams outside of A&M and that was by far his worst game as a Vol. I just don’t consider them being talented as a direct correlative with them being good QBs. Good QBs perform well week in and week out consistently with bad games being anomalous. Neither of these guys fit that bill to me.

Leavitt is 6'2" 205. Dobbs was 6'3 225, maybe 230. Dobbs may be little faster, and can cut better on a straight line. But damn, dude has a stiff leg move. That spin move👀

I will add that we normally over estimate qb size to SEC speed and size. This dude took shots in PAC 2, he will get pummeled in SEC.

He never played in the PAC 12 or 2. He played his freshman year at Michigan State and his two years at Arizona State they were in the Big 12.

BG12 is defunct isnt it? Well, in that case he's not used to playing a team with a defense, like any defense. They literally go stand there.

Tim Banks would be a Nick Saban in Bg 12

Alot of SEC defenses are not quite the defenses we remember

He was awesome against Texas in the playoff and that Texas defense was good.

I don’t think there will be many teams if any that will have a really dominant defense with the portal. We won’t see a prime saban defense Or an early 2020s Kirby smart Georgia defense stacked with studs/depth anymore. It’s Impossible now.
