I skimmed through the online roster today, and if all current portal entries choose not to return to ASU, if my math is correct, there is a grand total of 13 total players (a mixture of scholarship and walk-on players) who were in the program prior to 2023. That covers four recruiting classes (2019-22) of players generally still eligible to play, as the 2019 class has the sixth-year seniors who've used a RS and the free COVID year.
Without naming names, there are a few on this list that at least in theory would not be surprises to jump into the portal as well.
Obviously there are many reasons for these departures, whether it's NIL-driven or the multitude of players acquired in Edwards' last two classes that simply are not power conference caliber players, or different reasons altogether.
2019 Class (2)
QB Trenton Bourguet*
DL Anthonie Cooper^
2020 Class (2)
LB Caleb McCullough^
DB Macen Williams^
2021 Class (3)
WR Coben Bourguet*
RB George Hart III*
DL Gharin Stansbury^
2022 Class (6)
OL Emmit Bohle#
OL Colby Garvin*#
DL Blazen Lono-Wong^
P Race Mahlum*#
WR Max Ware*
WR Patrick Williams*
* - Either still is or at least joined the program as a walk-on
# - Came to ASU as a transfer
^ - NLI signee with ASU out of high school
