Inside the LSU Depth Chart: Latest intel on starters, injury buzz ahead of Week 3 at Ole Miss
- Geaux247 reports, citing multiple sources, that LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt will start at Ole Miss after treatment for back spasms. He was removed from Friday's SEC availability report after initially being doubtful. Landen Clark remains the backup; the report does not establish that Leavitt is symptom-free.
- LSU linebacker TJ Dottery remained questionable on Friday's SEC availability report with a lower-body injury after wearing a boot during the week. Geaux247's sources nevertheless expect him to play beside Whit Weeks. That expectation is not an official removal from the questionable designation.
- Geaux247 describes LSU's offensive line as strong against Clemson but worse against Louisiana Tech, making protection for Leavitt and interior run blocking concerns at Ole Miss. Dilin Jones remains the lead back in the article's chart; the writer projects Stacy Gage and Harlem Berry to handle backup snaps rather than confirming a new rotation.
- LSU's first receiver group remains Winston Watkins Jr., Eugene Wilson and Jackson Harris in Geaux247's chart. The writer projects more explosive-play opportunities for Harris and a favorable receiving matchup for tight end Trey'Dez Green against Ole Miss. Those are matchup forecasts, not announced target increases or a changed starting group.
- Geaux247 credits freshman Deuce Geralds with two sacks and an important interior role for LSU, with Stephiylan Green and Dominick McKinley also taking substantial snaps. The preview identifies edge rushers Princewill Umanmielen and Jordan Ross containing Trinidad Chambliss as the key defensive matchup; it does not report a new front or role change.

The SEC Availability Report: LSU QB Sam Leavitt’s status upgraded 24 hours before kickoff
- LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt is off Friday night's SEC availability report and listed as active for Ole Miss after dealing with back spasms. He was doubtful on Wednesday and questionable on Thursday. This is the newer status update, superseding those earlier designations; it does not predict his performance or mobility in the game.
- Leavitt missed Wednesday practice, then participated in Thursday and Friday walkthroughs, according to the report and sources cited by Matt Zenitz. That documents his return to team preparation, but the article does not establish a full-speed practice workload or guarantee that the back issue cannot recur.
- LSU linebacker TJ Dottery remains questionable on Friday night's report, approximately 24 hours before the Ole Miss game. The article provides no new clearance, replacement assignment or expected snap count for him.

RebTalk Report: Sharif Denson set for Ole Miss debut against LSU
- LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt and linebacker T.J. Dottery are listed as questionable; Leavitt had been doubtful earlier in the week. Linebackers Tylen Singleton and Davhon Keys and offensive lineman Aliou Bah are probable. The upgraded quarterback designation is not confirmation that Leavitt will play.

Just a thought
- Injury: He could say Sam died in the injury report and I’d still expect to see Sam take the first snap

Meet Landen Clark: The overlooked QB who could be LSU's answer against Ole Miss amid Sam Leavitt's injury
- The Sept. 17 report says LSU listed Sam Leavitt as doubtful ahead of Ole Miss. Doubtful is not the same as ruled out, and the article notes uncertainty about whether he will miss the game. It does not confirm a replacement starter or provide a new medical diagnosis.
- LSU's printed depth chart lists Husan Longstreet second, but Landen Clark took the first backup snaps in both opening games. The report says that matches Clark's offseason progress while Leavitt was recovering during spring. Actual usage favors Clark as an option, but neither that usage nor the chart confirms Saturday's starter.
- In relief against Clemson and Louisiana Tech, Clark completed seven of 10 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown and ran seven times for 42 yards. Those are encouraging but limited backup reps, not evidence that he has already handled a full game against a top opponent.
- Scouting sources describe Clark as a strong-armed athlete who can extend plays, handle designed quarterback runs and operate in the RPO game. LSU viewed that as a fit for Lane Kiffin's offense. The scouting assessment identifies possible options if Clark is needed; it is not an announced Ole Miss game plan.
