LSU Spring Ends With the BEST Possible Sam Leavitt News

Lane Kiffin closed spring football with the most important update of LSU’s offseason: Sam Leavitt is progressing exactly the way LSU hoped. The Arizona State transfer quarterback participated in 7-on-7 during LSU’s final spring practice and, according to Kiffin, threw a touchdown on his very first snap. After recovering from Lisfranc surgery and spending most of spring limited to observation and walkthroughs, that moment was a major signal that LSU’s QB1 is trending in the right direction. But beyond the health update, Kiffin’s comments about Leavitt’s mentality may have been even more significant. He described Leavitt as someone who truly loves football—the work, the preparation, the obsession with being great—not just the fame or benefits that come with it. That mindset is exactly what LSU needs from the centerpiece of a roster built to contend immediately. We also recap LSU’s final spring scrimmage, where the offense showed rhythm for the second straight week, Harlem Berry flashed explosiveness, Malik Elsie continued a strong spring, and the Tigers’ tempo offense looked more comfortable. Plus, Kiffin explained what still needs major improvement before fall camp and why this roster is in a much stronger position than the one Brian Kelly inherited in 2022. If LSU is going to chase championships in 2026, it begins with Sam Leavitt—and the spring finale gave every reason for optimism.
