Ex-Spartan QB Sam Leavitt Poised to Haunt MSU
Sam Leavitt, the former Michigan State quarterback who transferred to Arizona State after his freshman year, has re-entered the transfer portal and is expected to land as an immediate starter. On3’s Pete Nakos identifies Oregon and Indiana—both future opponents of MSU—as two of the most intriguing landing spots, alongside Miami (FL) and LSU. Oregon could draw Leavitt back home to West Linn, Ore., with a proven NFL quarterback pipeline and strong NIL opportunities, while Indiana—a rising Big Ten “Death Star” under Curt Cignetti—offers the allure of annual playoff contention and Heisman-caliber hype. With two years of eligibility remaining, Leavitt’s decision could guarantee a dramatic return to Spartan Stadium in 2026 or ‘27, unless he opts for the NFL draft first.
In a plot twist more dramatic than a midseason coach’s condescending lecture, Sam Leavitt is now the Big Ten’s most wanted quarterback. Will he crash his old team’s homecoming like an uninvited party crasher? Or will he head west and remind everyone that chopping wood in Eugene is still more theatrical than any Spartan pep rally? Strap in, Spartan Nation, because nothing says “we miss you” like an old quarterback leading future opponents onto your home turf—talk about hospitality!
Spartans Storm Top 10 Odds with Defensive Domination
Michigan State has rocketed from a preseason No. 22 ranking to the top 10 in national championship betting odds, currently tied for 10th at +2200 alongside Florida. The Spartans boast the Big Ten’s third-best title odds behind Michigan and Purdue, thanks to a stingy defense ranked fourth nationally by KenPom (91.8 efficiency) and the nation’s assist leader, Jeremy Fears Jr., dishing nearly 10 per game. Under Tom Izzo, MSU’s 10–1 start includes a dominant win over Toledo and six double-doubles from senior forward Jaxon Kohler. With only one remaining nonconference challenge and league play looming, the Spartans are clicking on all cylinders for a potential title run.
Breaking news: Tom Izzo still can’t win a title—but hey, he sure can orchestrate defensive clinics! And if you thought having the assist king was just for show, think again. Jeremy Fears Jr. is out here racking up dimes like a hip-hop DJ spinning platinum records. Spartan fans, pour yourself a celebratory kale smoothie and enjoy the ride—because nothing says “national contender” like a team that stops everyone else from scoring while three guys in green take turns raining threes.
