Texas A&M’s thrilling victory over Arizona this past weekend has Aggies fans buzzing, and much of the credit is being given to their young quarterback, Sam Leavitt. The 19-year-old rising star demonstrated poise under pressure, leading his team to a hard-fought win in what many are calling a statement game for the Aggies.
Following the game, Leavitt, who completed 23 of 30 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns, spoke candidly about his performance and the team’s determination to secure the victory. “I displayed guts and determination because I love the Aggies with my whole heart,” Leavitt told reporters. “This team, this school, this community—they mean everything to me. When you play for something bigger than yourself, that’s when great things happen.”
The game was anything but easy. Arizona’s defense pressured Leavitt relentlessly, forcing him to make quick decisions and scramble for yards when necessary. Despite the challenges, Leavitt kept his composure, leading a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter that culminated in a 15-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Evan McKinney.
Leavitt credited his teammates and coaching staff for their unwavering support throughout the game. “Football is a team sport, and I couldn’t have done it without my offensive line giving me time, my receivers making big plays, and our defense stepping up when it mattered most,” he said.
Head coach Jimbo Fisher praised Leavitt’s maturity and resilience, saying, “Sam may be young, but he plays with the heart of a veteran. His leadership and confidence inspire everyone around him.”
The win against Arizona moves Texas A&M to 7-2 on the season, keeping them in contention for a spot in the SEC Championship Game. For Leavitt, though, the focus remains on continuous improvement. “This is just the beginning,” he said. “We have a lot more work to do, and I’m ready to give it my all every step of the way.”
With Leavitt at the helm, the Aggies are proving they have the grit and talent to take on any challenge. Fans can’t wait to see what’s next for their young quarterback and his beloved team.
