The Tigers' starting quarterback was left off Saturday's SEC availability report, signaling he is expected to play at Ole Miss, according to ESPN.
LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt was not included on the Southeastern Conference's availability report released ahead of Saturday's game against Ole Miss, according to ESPN. The report typically lists players whose participation status is uncertain due to injury or other factors, and Leavitt's absence from the list indicates he is expected to take part in the matchup in Oxford, Mississippi.
ESPN reported that Leavitt's health and availability had been monitored for 48 hours leading up to the game. The report did not specify the nature of any prior concern regarding his status.
With Leavitt cleared to play, LSU will have its starting quarterback available for the road contest against Ole Miss. Further details on the game, including kickoff time and broadcast information, were not included in the source material.
ESPN's report focused solely on the quarterback's availability status as reflected in the SEC's official reporting mechanism, which conferences use to provide transparency on player participation ahead of scheduled games.
