Hey guys, ASU (2-2) opened up a new week of practice ahead of Saturday's home game against Oregon State. Here's what I saw during this morning's media viewing period.
LOCATION: Kajikawa Practice Field
ATTIRE: Shells
MEDIA AVAILABILITY: First three periods, approximately 40 minutes
STRETCH MUSIC: "Crank That" by Soulja Boy // "Proud" by 2 Chaniz feat. YG & Offset
IN GREEN: Tyler Johnson
PERSONNEL NOTES
--Following the opening stretch period, we noticed the following players head into the bubble: Ty Thomas (Soph./S), Jay Jay Wilson (Sr./LB), Casey Tucker (R-Sr./OL), Ryan Kelley (R-Fr./QB) and Terrell Chatman (R-Jr./WR) and Mark Cosgrove (R-Sr./FB)
--Das Tautalatasi (Sr./S) was back out in full practice attire today, but did not participate in 11-on-11 drills. He's been out for the past two weeks after injuring his elbow against Michigan State.
--Kyle Williams (Jr./WR) was also not seen participating in today's 11-on-11 period.
FIRST-TEAM OFFENSE
QB: Manny Wilkins
RB: Eno Benjamin/Trelon Smith
WR: N'Keal Harry, Ryan Newsome, Frank Darby
TE: Tommy Hudson/Ceejhay French-Love
OL: LT Zach Robertson, LG Alex Losoya, C Cohl Cabral, RG Steve Miller, RT Quinn Bailey
--In the absence of Casey Tucker, Alex Losoya filled in at left guard on the first team today.
--Manny Wilkins had a couple of errant passes, but found Brandon Aiyuk on a beautiful slant route into open space; Aiyuk made a perfect cut to lose his man.
SECOND-TEAM OFFENSE
QB: Dillon Sterling-Cole
RB: Isaiah Floyd/Paul Lucas
WR: Brandon Aiyuk, Geordon Porter, Ryan Jenkins
TE: Jarick Caldwell/Jared Bubak
OL: LT Tyson Rising, LG Roy Hemsley, C Jarrett Bell, RG Cade Cote, RT Spencer Lovell
--Isaiah Floyd had one very nice run today; he took a hand-off and went outside the left tackle, showing impressive patience to find space.
--Sterling-Cole had a rough first couple of plays; the first, he threw the ball into the ground on a bootleg pass that quickly go weeded out. On his next play, Bell's snap, was at his feet and he was unable to corral it.
FIRST-TEAM DEFENSE
DL: Jalen Bates, Renell Wren, Shannon Forman
LB: Merlin Robertson, Darien Butler, Malik Lawal
CB: Chase Lucas, Kobe Williams
TILLMAN: Jalen Harvey
S: Aashari Crosswell (Field Ranger), Demonte King (Boundary Ranger)
--With Jay Jay Wilson sidelined, Malik Lawal saw a few more snaps than normal today, taking Wilson's spot among the first-team linebackers.
SECOND-TEAM DEFENSE
DL: Joran Hoyt/Darius Slade, George Lea/D.J. Davidson, Doug Subtyl/Jermayne Lole
LB: Kyle Soelle, Khaylan Kearse-Thomas**, Stanley Lambert
TILLMAN: Evan Fields
CB: Terin Adams, Dom Harrison
S: Cody French (Boundary Ranger), Langston Frederick (Field Ranger)
**—Darien Butler stayed out on the field for the entirety of 11-on-11.
That's about it for today's practice. Jordan Kaye and I will be back out there tomorrow. Stay tuned for more coverage throughout the week as the Sun Devils get ready to return home and take on OSU. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
