LSU QB Still Dealing With Foot Maintenance

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt is still dealing foot issues months after he underwent season-ending surgery while with ASU.

Sam Leavitt, a quarterback who transferred from Arizona State to LSU, continues to manage foot issues as he prepares for the upcoming season. Leavitt sustained a foot injury during a game against Baylor in September, which led to season-ending surgery. Following his recovery and leading ASU to a Big 12 championship, he joined LSU under new head coach Lane Kiffin.

Initially limited during spring practices and receiving a follow-up procedure in April, Leavitt has reported positive progress on his foot. However, he still needs to "warm it up a little" before practices, according to Leavitt. Despite this, he maintains that he is "100 percent" before the regular season. Coaches, including LSU's Lane Kiffin, have expressed satisfaction with Leavitt's recovery and performance.

The Tigers have bolstered their receiving options with new players Jayce Brown, Jackson Harris, and Winston Watkins Jr. in the offseason.
