LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt has been confirmed available to start Saturday's game at Ole Miss, concluding a unique 48 hour period of tracking his health. This positive development means Leavitt will participate in the upcoming competition, with his status officially cleared just one day before the matchup. His availability was a significant point of interest for the team.
The period of health monitoring for Leavitt officially ended on Friday. He was not included on the SEC availability report for Saturday's game, a strong indication of his clearance to play. A source later informed Heather Dinich from ESPN that the quarterback is indeed "available" to start, resolving the prior uncertainty surrounding his health.
