The Arizona State Sun Devils experienced a quick turnaround in 2025, winning the Big 12. Much of this had to do with the success of quarterback Sam Leavitt, the ironclad legs of fourth round pick Cam Skattebo, and the brilliance of Kenny Dillingham.

Here, however, we will focus on the former of the three as we put Leavitt under a microscope and take a look at his ball placement and accuracy profile.

Leavitt, after transferring over from Michigan State, got the keys to the car as just a Redshirt Freshman in 2024. He threw for nearly 2,900 yards, 24 touchdowns, and six interceptions for the Sun Devils. Leavitt also added another 443 yards and five touchdowns with his legs.

But is he a legitimate contender to even be considered a top quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft class? That’s what we will seek to find out here. That conversation starts with his Weighted On-Target Percentage.

Here are the other Weighted On-Target Percentage profiles completed to this point in the offseason:

  • South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers

  • Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza

  • Michigan State’s Aidan Chiles

  • Penn State’s Drew Allar

  • Clemson’s Cade Klubnik

  • LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier

  • Baylor’s Sawyer Robertson

What does Leavitt’s 2024 tape and ball placement and accuracy profile say as he gets set to enter his second season as the starting quarterback in Tempe? Let’s take a look.
