ASU Sun Devils: Fueled by Snub?
25 Jul
Summary
- Arizona State was surprisingly picked seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll.
- Quarterback Sam Leavitt transferred to LSU, replaced by Kentucky's Cutter Boley.
- The Sun Devils face a challenging schedule including a London game.
Arizona State's football program, despite recent strong performances including a Big 12 championship game appearance two seasons ago, has been unexpectedly projected to finish seventh in the upcoming Big 12 season. Head coach Kenny Dillingham has dismissed outside expectations, stating the team will use any perceived disrespect as motivation.
The Sun Devils are navigating significant changes, notably the transfer of quarterback Sam Leavitt to LSU. Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley is set to take over the starting role, with Dillingham praising his athleticism. The team also faces a demanding schedule, highlighted by an early-season road game against Texas A&M followed by a historic trip to London to play Kansas.
Further complicating matters, Arizona State must replace numerous starters across the roster. To address this, the team secured the No. 15-ranked transfer portal class, bolstering both offense and defense. Key additions include promising receivers and a strong offensive line, aiming to support returning running back Kyson Brown and Delaware transfer Marquis Gillis.
