Quarterback
Current scholarship players (in order of 2024 eligibility):
Senior Trenton Bourguet
Junior Jacob Conover
Redshirt freshman Jaden Rashada
Redshirt freshman Sam Leavitt
Position snapshot: More than likely, ASU is done adding quarterbacks. I don’t expect any attrition to take place, but if it does, then yes, they will be forced to add another signal caller, although I wouldn’t expect that to happen before the spring. All in all, ASU is staying put here.
Running back
Current scholarship players (in order of 2024 eligibility):
Senior DeCarlos Brooks
Senior Cameron Skattebo
Junior Raleek Brown
Junior George Hart III
Junior Tevin White
Sophomore Kyson Brown
Freshman Jason Brown
Position snapshot: The expected addition of USC transfer Raleek Brown, who in theory can also play wide receiver, is huge, not only adding a dynamic element that is needed for this group but also softening the blow after this season when Skattebo and Brooks would have exhausted their eligibility. Raleek Brown’s addition also signals that ASU is probably staying put in this position and not seeking additions here, having seven scholarship players.
Wide Receiver
Current scholarship players (in order of eligibility):
Senior Elijhah Badger
Senior Xavier Guillory
Senior Melquan Stovall
Junior Jake Smith
Junior Troy Omeire
Sophomore Jordan Tyson
Redshirt freshman Kaleb Black
Redshirt freshman Korbin Hendrix
Freshman Zechariah Sample
Freshman Cullen Charles
(As a reminder, Elijah Baesa will not be part of this class; it is only a matter of time until he decommits as he is no longer in ASU’s plans)
Position snapshot: This position is one where I don’t expect to see much movement in terms of players departing and/or portal additions, and having 10 scholarship players is an ideal number. Said for weeks that I fully expect Elijah Badger to remain at ASU, and as mentioned, Raleek Brown could line up in this role as well. This is a stacked room with a lot of talent that does not need any further additions and one that I fully expect to play at a much higher level now that ASU will have Tyson and Jake Smith for a whole year.
Offensive Line
Current players (in order of 2024 eligibility):
Senior Emmit Bohle
Senior Ben Coleman
Senior Kyle Scott
Senior Cade Briggs
Senior Leif Fautanu
Junior Shancco Matautia (expected to commit any day)
Junior Bram Walden
Junior Max Iheanachor
Sophomore Sean Na’a
Redshirt freshman Joey Su’a
Redshirt freshman Sirri Kandiyeli
Freshman Semisi Tonga
Freshman Champ Westbrooks
Freshman Terrell Kim
Freshman Filiva’a Saluni (is expected to sign in February and be on campus in 2026 after serving an LDS mission)
Position snapshot: The ideal number here is 15 scholarship players, and ASU has 14 since Saluni, in essence, is a 2026 addition. So, at a minimum, I see ASU adding two more players, but come spring, and a new portal window opens, attrition taking place then isn’t out of the question.
When it comes to the transfer portal, Kevin Wigenton and Savion Byrd have already visited ASU, and chances are that Byrd is the more plausible addition out of the two. But as of this minute, it’s unclear how feasible this is.
In terms of high school prospects, Rustin Young, who was an Oregon State commit and recommitted after visiting ASU, will, according to a Michigan State insider, follow Johnthan Smith to East Lansing and will commit to the Spartans.
Tight Ends
Current players (in order of 2024 eligibility):
Senior Bryce Pierre
Junior Markeston Douglas
Sophomore Cameron Harpole
Freshman Jayden Fortier
Position snapshot: Adding Douglas and Harpole from the portal was big for ASU. But since Fortier tore his ACL in the state championship, not only will he not be ready for spring practice, but practicing fully in fall camp is not a given. ASU, being in the market for a spring portal addition, is all but a guarantee.
