Lane Kiffin Says LSU QB Sam Leavitt Likely Out for Rest of Spring After Foot Screw Removal

Coaches say this matches the plan set during his recruitment.

Overview

  • LSU's projected starting quarterback, Sam Leavitt, will likely miss the rest of spring practice, Lane Kiffin said.
  • He is on crutches after a minor, scheduled procedure to remove a screw from his Lisfranc repair.
  • Leavitt posted a photo of his bandaged foot on Instagram and told fans the pins were out and he was not hurt again.
  • Kiffin said the staff expected a limited spring for Leavitt when they signed him from the transfer portal.
  • Lisfranc injuries involve the midfoot and can limit cutting and burst, which are key for a mobile quarterback in Kiffin’s offense.
