Lane Kiffin Breaks Down Sam Leavitt's Impact at LSU

Kiffin praised Leavitt, a former top portal addition who accounted for 46 career touchdowns, for elevating the Tigers' offense during spring practices. He remarked on the changing landscape of college football, stating that it is now easier for quarterbacks to play early in their careers due to the transfer portal trend of players arriving at new programs before summer. Leavitt previously led Arizona State to a College Football Playoff appearance.

Kiffin also emphasized the difficulty of the SEC, calling it the hardest conference to play in and the toughest environment, setting high expectations for Leavitt's transition.
