Arizona State athletics news, notes and updates.
Na'a, who was recruited by new ASU offensive line coach Saga Tuitele, visited Tempe last weekend. Tuitele had also been recruiting Na'a in his previous position at Fresno State before coming over to ASU.
Na'a is one of three who have not yet signed. The National Signing Day for those that didn't already sign in December is Feb. 1. ASU returns home this week with first pace on the line in Thursday's 8:30 p.m. showdown against UCLA. The Sun Devils will host USC on Saturday.When Kenny Dillingham took over the Arizona State football program in December he vowed to attack the transfer portal. He has done exactly that.
Others also fill significant voids. Mallory was a started 27 games at Michigan State, including a career-high 10 in 2021 in which he managed 44 tackles, five tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. The Sun Devils got some added good news late today as Gharin Stansbury withdrew his name from the portal, becoming the third defensive lineman to do so. He missed the balance of last season with a pulled hamstring.True freshman placekicker Carter Brown is the latest Arizona State football player to enter the transfer portal.
"We are excited to welcome J.J. to Tempe," Anderson said."His background is fantastic on so many levels and he has been a part of building a program and getting it back to where it belongs. His work in the USA volleyball community, his tremendous Pac-12 knowledge and his understanding of what we aspire to achieve with our volleyball program makes him the ideal fit for ASU."
The other location is at Hance Park Feb. 9-12, and will be a free outdoor festival featuring live music and entertainment, local cuisine and multicultural celebrations. It culminates with Super Bowl watch party starting at 11 a.m. on game day, Feb. 12. It will be the second time in the portal for Jones who played three years at the University of Florida before going to the portal for the first time in the spring and winding up in Tempe.
Jones is the second ASU quarterback to enter the portal following Paul Tyson who saw mop-up duty in only one game. That leaves Bourguet as the incumbent with true freshman Bennett Meredith and red-shirt sophomore Daylin McLemore on the roster. The Charlotte, North Carolina native was a first-team All-conference selection twice this season, once in the balloting of conference coaches and also by the Associated Press in a balloting of the print media that cover the conference.The Sun Devils may have struggled in the win column but they had two players earn All-Pac12 honors for their showings the past football season.
Czaplicki led the conference with 45.98 average on 50 attempts with a long of 75 yards. He dropped 15 punts inside the 20 and had 16 kicks of 50 or more yards. He also handled kickoff duties for the 3-9 Sun Devils. So after three years of hoping for the lead ball carrier role, Ngata is looking for a new opportunity and will reportedly enter the transfer portal when it opens on Monday.
There had been speculation Ngata would do so because he was underutilized but he also voiced his frustration about losing earlier in the season. He has also wiped away any reference to ASU in social media accounts.Red-shirt junior defensive lineman Anthonie Cooper has become the second Sun Devil to enter the transfer portal. The first was quarterback Paul Tyson who did so on Monday.
Tyson was a newcomer to ASU this past season, transferring to the school in January from Alabama, but he played in just one game, getting a handful of snaps in the Sun Devils' season-opening 40-3 win against Northern Arizona. When Jones went down in the game against Washington it was Bourguet getting the call. And it was Bourguet starting the last five games of the regular season even after Jones was healthy so that seemed to indicate Tyson was low enough on the depth chart he wasn't going to get playing time.
This marks the 11th and 12th time a Sun Devil has won a Pac-12 Player of the Week award under head coach Bobby Hurley. Cambridge Jr. is the first winner of Pac-12 Player of the Week from ASU for men's basketball since 2020. Nunez becomes the first men's basketball player to claim Pac-12 Freshman of the Week since Josh Christopher in 2020.No.
The Arizona State men's basketball team announced the signing of a pair of four-star prospects that will join the roster for the 2023-24 season.ASU coach Bobby Hurley announced the signings of guard Braelon Green and forward Akil Watson on Monday.
