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

(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

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

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,

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
