Kiffin praises Sam Leavitt, says team 'still has a lot of work to do' as LSU's fall practice startsBATON ROUGE — A new era of LSU football starts in one month when the Tigers face Clemson in Death Valley on Sept. 5. Ahead of the 2026-27 season, Wednesday marked the first day of fall training camp for the newly led Tigers under head coach Lane Kiffin. After practice, Kiffin spoke enthusiastically about the first day of fall camp, but acknowledged that the team "still has a lot of work to do." A big part of training camp, Kiffin added, is "controlling what we can control." One of the newer players to the Kiffin program is Arizona State transfer Sam Leavitt.
