Leavitt transferred to Arizona State ahead of the 2024 season, rapidly establishing himself as one of college football’s most dynamic quarterbacks. He led the Sun Devils to an 11-2 record and a Big 12 championship while putting up remarkable stats.
The former Michigan State quarterback displayed excellent abilities, throwing for around 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, and only six interceptions. His dual-threat skill was also shown with 443 running yards and five touchdowns.
According to Bleacher Report’s Brad Shepard, Leavitt is one of the top underclassmen with the best chance of winning the 2025 Heisman Trophy.
His remarkable performance did not go unnoticed. ESPN’s Mark Schlabach and Brad Crawford of 247 Sports consider him an early contender for the 2025 Heisman Trophy. Such attention highlights his potential as Arizona State’s first Heisman finalist since Jake Plummer in 1996.

As Leavitt prepares for the 2025 season, expectations are high. With further development and leadership, he has the skills to secure his place among college football’s greatest and even bring the Heisman Trophy to Arizona.
