LSU QB Uncertainty Looms Before Top-10 Clash
17 Sep
Summary
- LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game.
- Leavitt is recovering from a season-ending foot injury last year.
- The Tigers face a top-10 matchup against Ole Miss.
The LSU Tigers are facing significant quarterback uncertainty heading into their highly anticipated top-10 clash with Ole Miss. Starting quarterback Sam Leavitt was listed as 'doubtful' on the team's official availability report released on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The exact nature of Leavitt's injury remains undisclosed, adding to the suspense surrounding his potential participation.
Leavitt, who transferred to LSU from Arizona State this past offseason, has a history of injury, having suffered a season-ending foot injury that required surgery last year. Despite throwing for nearly 400 yards in LSU's Week 2 win, he has had turnover issues this season, with four interceptions and two touchdowns in two starts.
This availability report also listed 10 other LSU players, including linebacker Whit Weeks and tight end Trey'Dez Green, who are both designated as 'probable' for the game. The status of Leavitt is a critical storyline for Lane Kiffin's return to Mississippi as the coach of Ole Miss.
