Now that he's off to the NFL with the New Orleans Saints, the task came to head coach Kenny Dillingham and wide receivers coach Hines Ward to cultivate a new anchor to the group. It's safe to say with less than three weeks to kickoff, they have gone above and beyond in th

The College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy. (Photo by David Rosenblum/Icon Sportswire) College football is less than three weeks from kickoff (two weeks for Week Zero participants), and with that comes the preseason rankings for all fans to dissect at will. The rankings are as one would expect in this new age of collegiate super-conferences. The SEC leads the way with 9 of their 16 members in the rankings (because it just means more), while the Big Ten is right

Can you feel it coming in the air? Football is nearly back. The Sun Devils are hard at work in their summer practices, preparing for the season opener against FCS Morgan State in just under a month. In anticipation of kickoff, we'll be doing a full breakdown of each position room on this team to get to know the new faces and some returning stars. Things start, of course, with the most position on the field: quarterback. Cutter Boley hopes to be latest success story Sam Leavit

The 2026 NFL Draft was a big one for Arizona State. The Sun Devils saw four players hear their names called across the three-day event, doubling their total over the past three years combined. More importantly, they saw two players - Jordyn Tyson and Max Iheanachor - drafted in the first round, the first time they had multiple first round picks since 2001. Players are taking notice, whether they're already on the roster or considering Arizona State. During the Big 12 Football

Even as the College Football Playoff has grown and expanded, bowl games remain a vital part of the college football experience. There were 47 bowl games for the 2025 season, including playoff games, but few have captured the nation's collective heart like the Pop-Tarts Bowl. For those unfamiliar, the Pop-Tarts Bowl rebranded from the Cheez-It Bowl for the 2023 season and instantly became a hit. The hook: a live Pop-Tart mascot, with a different flavor each year, that gets put

The first day of the Big 12's Football Media Days kicked off today. Commissioner Brett Yormark welcomed members of the media from all 16 member schools, as well as national media, before making coaches and players for half the conference available. As was the case last year, Arizona State was present for the first day, which meant plenty of Kenny Dillingham availability. After last year's mildly disappointing 8-5 finish, Dillingham brings a largely revamped roster into 2026,

The last couple of weeks have sent shockwaves through the Big 12 and, on the whole, college football. After some legal maneuvering and political posturing, Texas Tech officially parted ways with their high-priced transfer quarterback, Brendan Sorsby, who will enter the NFL's supplemental draft. That changes things in a major way for the reigning Big 12 champions, and it also breaks the door wide open in the conference. Here's where the conference's current hierarchy now stand

The past week has been filled with more drama than is ever necessary for the college football offseason. Monday's news from a Lubbock, Texas judge that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby would be eligible to play in 2026 rocked the college football landscape. Within 24 hours, athletics directors for both Georgia and Nebraska announced that they would refrain from scheduling Texas Tech in any sport as a result. Privately, several athletics directors within the Big 12 shared

Texas Tech seems intent on burning down college football. In case you've missed it, Brendan Sorsby has been embroiled in legal action over his pursuit of eligibility following groundbreaking news that the former Hoosier and Bearcat bet on his own games. Sorsby transferred to Texas Tech this past summer, reportedly signing a deal that will pay him around $5 million for his final year of eligibility in college football. But this gambling scandal has suddenly threatened to end h

Sun Devil fans already know that Kenny Dillingham and his coaching staff are great recruiters, but Tuesday's development still landed as a high watermark for the program. That came in the form of a commitment from local offensive tackle Jake Hildebrand. The local product out of Basha High School is the highest-rated high school prospect in the state of Arizona for this year. Hildebrand committed to the Sun Devils over offers from Oregon, Utah, Texas A&M, and a handful of othe

On Friday night, Sun Devil football got the best kind of news dump. Arizona State announced a $10 million endowment gift from Brian and Kelly Swette. The endowment will go to Kenny Dillingham's head coaching position, making it the largest endowed leadership position of any kind at Arizona State. Brian Swette, who graduated from Arizona State University in 1976, is a decorated businessman whose resume includes stops as the Chief Operating Officer at eBay and a senior executiv

History is made! The New Orleans Saints select Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson at eighth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tyson becomes the highest wide receiver pick from the Sun Devils football program since J.D. Hill, who was selected at fourth overall by the Buffalo Bills in the 1971 NFL Draft. Additionally, he becomes the highest overall pick from Arizona State since cornerback Mike Haynes, who was drafted at fifth overall by the New England Patriots in 1976 and w
