TEMPE — Sam Leavitt was present at Arizona State football practice on Tuesday, seen for the first time in open media viewing since before his surgery.
Jeff Sims, who has taken all the quarterback snaps Leavitt hasn’t this season for ASU, said after practice that Leavitt has been around all the time behind closed doors.
“He’s basically here everyday, being around the guys, helping the younger guys out,” Sims said. “Me and him, if I see anything on the field, we’ll talk about it and stuff. But Sam’s been here, he ain’t really ever not been here.”
Leavitt was often at practices after he was initially ruled out for the season, seen then wearing a boot. Tuesday was the first time post-surgery with a knee scooter accompanying the boot.

During the time he was absent from practices open to media, there were reports about his camp actively shopping his services to other teams. While his presence at a practice doesn’t on its own put thoughts of him leaving to rest, it certainly is a better indicator that he had remained engaged with the program.
Other players dealing with season-ending injuries, such as Ben Coleman, Xavion Alford and Zyrus Fiaseu, have been frequently seen at practices throughout their recoveries.
Sims added Leavitt has been very supportive of the success ASU has had with three straight wins in Sims’ last three starts.
“He’s been hype, you know, that’s my guy. So after every game he’ll text me just all hype. You know how Sam is, very passionate dude. So it’s been cool to see his support,” Sims said.
