TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt will miss the rest of the year because of a lingering right foot injury , coach Kenny Dillingham said Friday.

Dillingham said during a radio interview with Arizona Sports that Leavitt will have season-ending surgery.

Leavitt twice left last week's 24-16 loss to No. 22 Houston , first after taking a hard hit in the first quarter and again when he limped off the field in the fourth quarter. Leavitt was wearing a walking boot at practice Tuesday.

He first injured his right foot against Baylor on Sept. 20 and didn’t play in a loss to No. 24 Utah two weeks later. He returned to lead Arizona State’s comeback victory against No. 7 Texas Tech on Oct. 18 before getting hurt again.

Leavitt has thrown for 1,628 yards and 10 touch
