TEMPE- Head coach Kenny Dillingham was pleased to see how the Arizona State Sun Devils looked on Saturday night in Tempe. From finding the right fit for a starter role at quarterback to continuing to implement new players into the system, what stands out to Dillingham is the Sun Devils' special teams. "Our special teams battles have been awesome," Dillingham said. "Both of our guys are punting better. We're consistently getting 44- to 48-yard punts and 4.4 or more hang, which

Arizona State was once known for producing elite talent at the tight end position - think Jerry Smith, Zach Miller, and Todd Heap, for starters - but the evolution of offensive football the last 15 years or so has changed that trend. Nevertheless, Arizona State under Kenny Dillingham has made extensive use of multiple tight end sets, and it's created a renewed opportunity for tight ends to make their mark in Tempe. As we gear up for the start of a new season, opportunities at

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

While there were many reasons for the Sun Devils failing to repeat as Big 12 champions last year, one factor that fans kept pointing to was the inability to adequately replace superstar running back Cam Skattebo. Now, a year later, the running back position is still a major question mark, though that has more to do with the names vying for the starting job this year. As we prepare for the season opener, all eyes are on a crowded running back room. Kyson Brown is hoping for a

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 Toronto Blue Jays selected former Sun Devil Cole Carlon 39th overall in the 2026 MLB Draft. Carlon was the 4th lefty pitcher selected, and the 15th pitcher se

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

Big 12 Football Media Days have come and gone, which means the unofficial countdown to college football has officially begun. There are exactly 59 days until the Sun Devils kick off their season against FCS Morgan State. Yet the most important position on the team remains a question mark. Sam Leavitt's departure for LSU this past offseason was about much more than NIL money, though head coach Kenny Dillingham opted to conserve his spending on a replacement quarterback and ins

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

For as much as the Big 12 media days are about talking to the players and coaches, the annual two-day event is also an opportunity for the conference to pump itself up and announce relevant business developments for the Big 12. That was the main takeaway from Commissioner Brett Yormark on the first day of the Big 12's football media days. Yormark announced a multi-year deal with Monster Energy that makes the energy drink brand the official Entitlement Partner for both Big 12

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,

Last season, Arizona State baseball brought in a sizable transfer portal haul that ranked among the top 20 in the nation. That group produced as six of the nine regular starters offensively came from the portal, including all-Big 12 second-team infielder Dominic Smaldino, all-Big 12 honorable-mention outfielder Dean Toigo and Big 12 all-tournament team outfielder Matt Polk, among others. On the mound, the Sun Devils brought in several arms, including Sunday starter Kole Klec

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
