山姆·利維特（Sam Leavitt）對亞利桑那州太陽惡魔的忠誠

他們說硬幣有兩個方面。看起來大學橄欖球就是這樣的硬幣。

They say there are two sides to every coin. It appears that college football is much like a coin, with good sides and bad sides to every story.

他們說每個硬幣都有兩個方面。看來，大學橄欖球就像硬幣一樣，每個故事的方面都好，方面不好。

Do you recall what Nick Saban's wife, Terry Saban, had to say about NIL? She stated, "All they care about is how much you're going to pay them; they don't care about how you're going to develop them, which is all what we've always done; so why are we doing this?"

您還記得尼克·薩班（Nick Saban）的妻子特里·薩班（Terry Saban）對尼爾（Nil）所說的話嗎？她說：“他們所關心的只是您要付多少錢；他們不在乎您將如何開發它們，這就是我們一直做的一切；所以我們為什麼要這樣做呢？”

Undeniably, there are players who fit into that category. For instance, Carson Beck and Nico Iamaleava took the NIL path. Nevertheless, there have been players for whom loyalty was non-negotiable.

不可否認，有些球員適合這一類別。例如，卡森·貝克（Carson Beck）和尼科·伊瑪利亞娃（Nico Iamaleava）走了零之路。儘管如此，有些球員的忠誠度是不可談判的。

Well, Arizona State Sun Devils quarterback Sam Leavitt falls into that list. He chose loyalty over those hefty checks. Now, does that mean he's completely oblivious to what's happening in college football? Of course not. After all, Leavitt wasn't shy about addressing his team's missed opportunity to reach the CFP.

好吧，亞利桑那州太陽魔鬼四分衛薩姆·萊維特（Sam Leavitt）落入了該名單。他選擇了忠誠度，而不是那些巨大的支票。現在，這是否意味著他完全忽略了大學橄欖球的情況？當然不是。畢竟，萊維特（Leavitt）對他的球隊錯過的機會達到CFP並不害羞。

"I firmly believe, you know, he could win the Heisman trophy. I really believe that." This is what Kenny Dillingham had to say with complete confidence about Leavitt leading the show. And can you blame Dillingham for pinning such high hopes on his quarterback?

“我堅信，你知道，他可以贏得海斯曼獎杯。我真的相信。”這就是肯尼·迪林漢姆（Kenny Dillingham）對萊維特（Leavitt）領導演出的完全充滿信心的說法。您能否責怪Dillingham寄希望於他的四分衛？

We're talking about 2885 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 216 of 350 passes completed—numbers that speak volumes of toughness. Now, this isn't to say that Leavitt takes anything for granted. He's got his own mood board set up, y'know, a whiteboard attached to his fridge, with a question to keep him pushing harder: "How great do you want to be?"

我們正在談論的是2885碼，24個達陣和350次通行證中的216次，這說明了韌性的數量。現在，這並不是說Leavitt將任何事情都視為理所當然。他已經設置了自己的情緒板，您知道是一個固定在冰箱上的白板，並提出了一個問題，以使他更加努力地推動：“你想成為多麼偉大？”

Turns out that to chase greatness, Leavitt didn't have to chase other teams or bigger checks. Back on May 27, CFB Alerts shared an IG post with a quote from the quarterback.

事實證明，追逐偉大，萊維特不必追逐其他團隊或更大的支票。早在5月27日，CFB警報與四分衛的報價共享了IG帖子。

"Why would you not want to be in a situation where you know exactly what's going on."

“為什麼您不想在您確切知道發生的事情的情況下成為現實。”

Leavitt further stressed how he wants to strengthen his footing in Arizona State, which would give him a firmer stand to take the long leap to the NFL. So, chasing after a few thousand dollars is something he doesn'نامهی wants to sacrifice something bigger that is in store for him in the NFL.

萊維特進一步強調了他想如何在亞利桑那州加強自己的立場，這將使他更加堅定地邁向NFL。因此，他不想犧牲他在NFL中為他存儲的更大的東西而追逐幾千美元。

"Who cares if you get paid a couple hundred thousand dollars less when you're gonna have a shot to now go play in the NFL and make 10 times more money."

“誰在乎您的薪水要減少幾十萬美元，而您現在要在NFL比賽中打球並賺到10倍的錢。”

Dillingham's quarterback sits with an NIL valuation of $3 million. Now this is less as compared to Leavitt's mates who swapped wagons.

Dillingham的四分衛以零估價為300萬美元。現在，與換貨車的同伴相比，這少了。

Beck's one switch from Georgia to Miami earned him a $4 million NIL offer. Even the ones who chose to stay loyal rank higher in the NIL charts. For instance, Texas Longhorns star Arch Manning holds an NIL value of approximately $6.6 million.

貝克從佐治亞州到邁阿密的一次轉換為他贏得了400萬美元的零報價。即使是那些選擇保持忠誠的人在零圖表中排名更高。例如，得克薩斯州長角牛隊明星拱門曼寧的零價值約為660萬美元。

So, in both ways, Leavitt had good enough reasons to consider jumping off Dillingham's train. But he's choosing to ride it till the final destination in his college journey. After all, he can already foresee something grand awaiting him at the end.

因此，從這兩種方面來說，Leavitt都有足夠的理由考慮跳下Dillingham的火車。但是他選擇騎它直到大學旅程中的最終目的地。畢竟，他已經可以預見到最後等待著他的東西。

In about a month since the 2025 draft, Leavitt has been mocked in the first round 14 times and ranked as a first-round pick on three big boards. He's as high as No. 5 (Cleveland Browns) on one mock and as low as No. 30 (Detroit Lions) on another. Out of the most frequent appearances in Leavitt's probable next home, the Los Angeles Rams appeared six times, and the Pittsburgh Steelers appeared four times.

自2025年選秀大約一個月以來，Leavitt在第一輪中被嘲笑14次，並在三個大董事會上排名第一。他在一個模擬中高達5號（克利夫蘭·布朗），在另一個模擬中高達30號（底特律獅子）。在萊維特（Leavitt）可能的下一個家中最常見的出現中，洛杉磯公羊隊（Los Angeles Rams）出現了六次，匹茲堡鋼人隊出現了四次。

However, as of now, Leavitt will have to let go of the burden of the 2024 snub and gift a happy ending to the Sun Devils.

但是，到目前為止，Leavitt將不得不放開2024年冷落的負擔，並給太陽惡魔帶來幸福的結局。

Red zone regrets still haunt Sam Leavitt

紅區後悔仍然困擾著山姆·萊維特

The 2024 season saw Dillingham's defense finish third in the Big 12 in points per game, allowing an average of 22.6. They also restricted Iowa State, which averaged over 31 points per game, to just 19 in the conference championship showdown. But there have been some big oopsie moments, too. The biggest that still haunts Leavitt and his program in their sleep is the heartbreaking 31-29 loss to Steve Sarkisian's boys. On The Matt Barrie Show, the host triggered his fresh regret.

2024賽季，迪林漢姆（Dillingham）的防守在每場得分12分中排名第三，平均得分為22.6。他們還限制了愛荷華州立大學的平均每場31分，在會議冠軍賽中只有19分。但是，也有一些很大的時刻。仍然困擾著萊維特（Leavitt）和他睡眠中的節目最大的是讓史蒂夫·薩基西安（Steve Sarkisian）的男孩的令人心碎的31-29損失。在馬特·巴里（Matt Barrie）的表演中，主持人引發了他的新遺憾。

What's your perspective on: Is Sam Leavitt's loyalty to Arizona State a smart move, or is he missing out on NIL riches? Have an interesting take?

您對您的看法是什麼：山姆·萊維特（Sam Leavitt）對亞利桑那州的忠誠是明智之舉，還是他錯過了零財富？有有趣的看法嗎？

Turns out that Leavitt is still not over the pain. "You know the whole time I was like, 'We just need one play to pop like we need a big play or we really didn't even need

事實證明，萊維特仍然沒有痛苦。 “你知道我一直都在想，'我們只需要一個戲劇才能流行，就像我們需要大型戲一樣，或者我們真的不需要
