Sam Leavitt's Transfer Portal Tour: Every Program Visiting
The highly touted quarterback Sam Leavitt is making a name for himself as one of the most sought-after transfers in college football history. Since the transfer portal opened last week, the former Arizona State standout has been crisscrossing the country, meeting with coaches and staff to determine his next destination.
Leavitt's electric arm and ability to make plays out of the pocket have made him a top target for several programs, but he remains tight-lipped about his intentions. The quarterback's visit schedule is filled with stops at some of college football's most prominent programs, leaving fans and pundits alike wondering if any school will ultimately sign him.
First up was Kentucky, where Leavitt reportedly had a long and productive visit with the Wildcats' coaching staff. However, the program may not have been as serious about signing him after all, as they quickly pivoted to Notre Dame's Kenny Minchey. Meanwhile, LSU's efforts to secure Leavitt were seemingly stalled when Brendan Sorsby signed with Texas Tech before Leavitt arrived.
Next on the agenda was Tennessee, where Leavitt spent several days and put himself in a strong position for signing if things fell into place. However, the Volunteers' defense and overall roster depth cast some doubt over their ability to secure the quarterback.
Finally, Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal is set to host Leavitt in the coming days as the program prepares to take on LSU in the national title game on January 19th. With LSU possibly looking elsewhere, Miami would be the strong frontrunner to sign Leavitt, who would not only have a legitimate chance of winning a national title with Cristobal's young team but also potentially set himself up for a No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
With the transfer portal set to close on January 16th, Leavitt will have until then to make his decision. Will he choose the team that has been steadily courting him, or will one of these other programs swoop in and secure his services? Only time will tell as this highly anticipated quarterback transfer saga unfolds.

. The way he's been zipping around the country visiting top programs is making me think he's really got the upper hand in all of this 
. Kentucky and LSU both seemed to lose interest in him kinda quickly, which might be a huge advantage for Miami Hurricanes – they're actually gonna have a legit shot at signing him 
.
. With LSU potentially looking elsewhere, Miami could really take it to them and bring home that W 
. And let's not forget, if he signs with Miami, he'll be all but guaranteed a top pick in the '27 NFL Draft 
. This transfer saga is getting good 
I think this whole thing is like a classic example of how a free market works in sports 
. But you know who's really losing here? The fans 
. They're stuck watching these programs jockey for position like it's some kind of NCAA wrestling match 
. It's like he's a candidate in some kind of bizarre sporting election 
. Will he choose the team that can offer him the most resources or will he go with his gut? It's anyone's guess, but one thing's for sure: this transfer portal is like a never-ending game of musical chairs 
.
and honestly, with cristobal at the helm, i think miami has a legit shot at signing him... plus, it would be SO cool to see them take on lsu in the title game 
. They've been building that team up and Cristobal's coaching style seems like a perfect fit for Leavitt's playing style. Plus, going into the national title game on Jan 19th is huge exposure - it'll definitely help them make a strong case to sign him 
. Tennessee's defense does look a bit shaky though... I'm not sure if they can secure Leavitt or not 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to play for the Hurricanes right now? They're like the cool kids in college football and he'd basically be setting himself up for a No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. Plus, with Cristobal's team looking legit, it's hard to see anyone else coming in and taking him away from them. I'm predicting Miami gets Leavitt and he'll go on to win a national title 
Please, Miami is just trying to get ahead of the game because of their upcoming big game against LSU.
.
. I mean, have you seen the team's roster? They're loaded with talent, but also struggling to find consistency 
.
. Plus, the team has got some young talent and they're actually a legit contender for the national title 
.
. It's too early to say for sure. Guess we just gotta wait and see what he does next 
.
.
. And as for Kentucky, they're basically begging him to come play in the SEC just because they can't get anyone else 
. I'm not saying he doesn't have a good shot at it all, but I think some of these programs are underestimating the transfer portal situation and overestimating their own chances 
he needs that QB to lead them to the national title and it'd be epic for the 27 draft
