Sam Leavitt was named the starting quarterback at Arizona State, where he beat out fellow transfer Jeff Sims, ESPN reported Monday.
Leavitt transferred from Michigan State after two seasons. Arizona State opens its first season in the Big 12 at home against Wyoming on Aug. 31.
Both players have been informed of the decision, per ESPN. Sims transferred to Tempe from Nebraska.
Leavitt appeared in four games (no starts) for Michigan State in 2023, completing 15 of 23 passes for 139 yards, with two touchdowns against two interceptions.
Leavitt replaces Jaden Rashada as the Sun Devils’ starting QB. Rashada transferred to Georgia.

Arizona State was predicted to finish last among the 16 teams in the newly configured Big 12, according to the preseason media poll.
