Sam Leavitt

Leavitt has become the face of the Arizona State football program, and if he plays his cards right, he could challenge for the Heisman in 2025. He was the Big 12's freshman of the year in 2024, and his 3,328 total yards were a school freshman record. He racked up 29 total touchdowns, and Arizona State had a top-30 offense in pretty much any important metric. While superstar RB Cam Skattebo departed for the NFL, they do return a dynamic receiver in Jordyn Tyson and have four returning offensive linemen. Creative OC Marcus Arroyo is back again, and this team was shockingly impressive in the College Football Playoff. With a stacked supporting cast and some swagger from an impressive freshman season, Leavitt is set up for a huge year in the desert. Read Past Outlooks
