In a move that has taken the college football world by surprise, former Arizona State University quarterback Sam Leavitt has officially committed to play for Brigham Young University (BYU) football. Leavitt, who had previously made waves as a promising young talent for the Arizona State Sun Devils, made his announcement on social media, declaring his decision to transfer to BYU for the next chapter of his collegiate career.
In a heartfelt message to fans, Leavitt expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to join the BYU program. “I’m beyond excited to announce that I’m coming home to BYU,” Leavitt said in a video posted on Twitter. “This decision was made with a lot of thought and consideration, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to play for this amazing program and fanbase. I can’t wait to contribute to the future of BYU football.”
Leavitt, who had only spent one season at Arizona State, had earned praise for his potential and strong performances as a freshman, but he ultimately decided to explore a new opportunity closer to home. A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Leavitt’s decision to transfer to BYU is seen as a return to his roots, allowing him to be closer to family and friends while continuing his football journey at a program with a storied history.
Leavitt’s commitment is a significant boost for BYU, which has been actively building its football program as it competes at the highest level in college football. The Cougars, who joined the Big 12 Conference this season, are looking to solidify their quarterback position, and Leavitt’s arrival could provide a fresh spark to the offense in the coming seasons. With his mobility, strong arm, and football IQ, Leavitt has the potential to be a standout player for the Cougars.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sam to the BYU football family,” said BYU head coach Kalani Sitake in a statement. “Sam is an incredibly talented quarterback with a bright future ahead of him, and we are confident he will help take our program to new heights. We look forward to working with him and seeing him grow as a player.”
As Leavitt transitions to life at BYU, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how he develops within the Cougars’ system. With a promising future ahead, the Utah native’s commitment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his college football career.
