After transferring from Michigan State, quarterback Sam Leavitt is competing for the starting role at ASU while building confidence through practice and interactions with teammates. Leavitt credits his growth to increased comfort in the pocket, better communication with his receivers, and the competitive environment brought by senior transfer Jeff Sims. Despite a competitive atmosphere, he maintains a humble approach, focusing on learning and collaboration. Leavitt's connection with head coach Kenny Dillingham and his appreciation for the team's camaraderie are pivotal as he adapts to his new surroundings. As he prepares for the upcoming scrimmage, Leavitt looks forward to the opportunity to demonstrate his skills and bond further with teammates.

Earlier today, Fort Wayne two-sport standout Brandon Logan flipped his commitment from Vanderbilt baseball to Notre Dame Football (and baseball). Ranked as a three-star prospect on 247Sports, Logan is listed as the No. 81 safety nationally and the No. 13 player in Indiana. He is unranked in the 247Sports Composite. At present, he is the lowest-ranked member of the Irish 2025 class, but that hardly represents his full Notre Dame value-add.
