Sam Leavitt TRANSFERRING?! Are the Sun Devils DOOMED or will they THRIVE? Transfer Portal HUGE

Rumors about Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt are exploding across the college football world, and in this episode of Devil’s Advocate with Richie Bradshaw, we break down everything you need to know about Leavitt’s future, what’s real, what’s speculation, and how his decision could reshape the trajectory of ASU football. Richie dives deep into the On3 report suggesting Leavitt is “shopping himself,” the response from Leavitt’s camp, and what factors — NIL offers, family influence, NFL ambitions, coaching continuity, and roster turnover — are actually driving the uncertainty. We explore whether ASU can realistically keep Leavitt in Tempe, why Big Ten and SEC programs pose a massive threat, and what it would take financially and structurally for the Sun Devils to compete. Richie examines what ASU loses if Levitt enters the transfer portal, what they gain if he stays, and why the future of college football — NIL, contracts, the evolving transfer landscape, and semi-pro dynamics — makes decisions like this more complicated than ever. You’ll also hear a full breakdown of QB landing spots that make sense if Leavitt transfers (Indiana, Clemson, LSU, Miami, Ole Miss/Florida), potential quarterback dominoes that could shake up the market (DJ Lagway, Tavien St. Clair, Keelon Russell, JKS), and what ASU’s future at quarterback looks like with Cam Dyer, Jake Fette, and the 2027 pipeline.
