Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham is rallying his team around grit over glamour, highlighting how both offense and defense are delivering in camp—with the defense making key stops and the offense rising to the moment on a crucial fourth down. He praised receivers Reed Harris and Omarion for their work ethic and growth, even noting Omarion’s smart workload management. Dillingham insists talent alone won’t define his squad; instead, he’s building a culture rooted in discipline, physicality, and passion. He wants fans to feel that energy Saturday—not just hear about it. This isn’t about stats or skill sets—it’s about heart, character, and showing up with everything you’ve got.

College sports just got a major cash infusion as the Big 12 rakes in $20 million annually from jersey sponsorships, with Monster Energy leading the charge. Schools like Arizona State are poised to join the trend, potentially unveiling deals before their football opener. Notre Dame and Ohio State are already reaping the rewards—SoFi and JPMorgan Chase respectively—with Ohio State’s $17 million/year deal covering all 36 teams and even including Name, Image, and Likeness opportunities. The era of corporate logos on college uniforms is here, reshaping how athletic programs are funded—and it’s only getting bigger.

Arizona State’s meteoric rise—from a three-win mess to Big 12 champs in just one year—proves rapid turnaround is possible, especially with the transfer portal in play. Once picked last in the conference, they now loom as a force, setting the stage for Oklahoma State’s own rebuild under Eric Morris. Their next clash on November 21st will be a litmus test: ASU crushed OSU 42-21 last time, with a QB throwing for 300+ yards and three TDs while their RB dominated both ways—Oklahoma State’s offense collapsed in the second half, surrendering 21 unanswered points.

"Call your mom." - A Message From Corey

"Only Rock With Real Ones." - A Message from Corey

Arizona State football is hungry for redemption after a solid but underwhelming 8-5 season, aiming to reclaim their top spot after last year’s playoff run. Coach Kenny Dillingham acknowledges the pressure of being the team everyone targets, but the squad embraces the underdog role that’s worked before. With four quarterbacks in the mix — including transfer Cutter Boley and veteran Mikey Keene — a starter must emerge before kickoff. The schedule is brutal: back-to-back road games against Texas A&M and Kansas, followed by nine straight weeks of action. But the team sees this as a chance to prove their mettle and rise above the chaos.

Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham sparked a viral moment when he publicly asked for support—and it delivered: a $10 million gift that fuels his mission to rebuild the Sun Devils and chase a College Football Playoff spot. The donation underscores how strong leadership and clear vision can rally donors, while also highlighting the broader debate over athlete support. Meanwhile, Michigan AD Warde Manuel confirms he’s staying put, offering stability amid swirling speculation, and top recruit David Gabriel Georges tightens his decision between Ohio State and Tennessee—two programs poised to reshape the college football landscape.

Michigan nearly landed Kenny Dillingham in a dramatic July pitch—made while he dined with family in Scottsdale—after Sherrone Moore’s exit, but Dillingham stayed put at Arizona State, where he’s turned the program around from rock bottom to a playoff contender. He’s focused on elevating ASU beyond average, improving facilities, smart transfers, and NFL development, all while his family stood ready to relocate with him if he’d taken the Michigan job. He’s got his sights set on building something bigger than just keeping pace—he wants to lead the charge.

Arizona’s Brent Brennan rockets from 15th to 6th in the Big 12 coach rankings after a breakout nine-win season and a Territorial Cup win over Arizona State — mirroring last year’s meteoric rise of Kenny Dillingham, who now slips to third after injury woes dented his team’s 2024 playoff run. BYU’s Kalani Sitake tops the list, followed by Texas Tech’s Joey McGuire, TCU’s Sonny Dykes, and Houston’s Willie Fritz — signaling a fiercely competitive Big 12 heading into 2026.

Michigan allegedly made a surprise coaching offer to Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham mid-dinner, calling him the “perfect guy” — even name-dropping Kyle Whittingham — as they aggressively pursued him to replace Sherrone Moore. Dillingham, a Valley native, declined, staying focused on elevating ASU’s program through facility upgrades and strategic portal moves, insisting they must outpace rivals by 11% to stay ahead. Despite a family offer to relocate with him, he’s content with ASU’s progress and eager to keep building something special there.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Arizona State is making major moves to overhaul its special teams, aiming to turn around a historically weak unit that ranked dead last in punting last season. With new coordinator Jack Nudo and NFL veteran Michael Scifres on board, the Sun Devils are seeing tangible progress — punts are flying farther with better hang time. Two punters, Kanyon Floyd (recovering from injury) and newcomer Nick McLarty, are battling for the starting job. On kickoffs, sixth-year senior Carson Smith is stepping into the clutch kicker role after losing Jesus Gomez. Beyond special teams, key coaching changes include Demetrice Martin now coaching corners, David Gibbs taking over safeties, and Bryan Carrington promoted to assistant head coach and defensive passing game coordinator — giving the team a stronger, more focused leadership structure across the board.

Big 12 preseason honors roll out with Arizona State’s C.J. Fite and Omarion Miller making waves—Fite a loyal veteran, Miller a high-profile newcomer stepping into big shoes.

Holmes Jr. (Defensive Player of the Year), and Oklahoma State’s Drew Mestemaker (Newcomer of the Year). With hype high, the real test begins when the season kicks off.

Arizona State heads to London for a high-stakes Week Three showdown at Wembley Stadium against Kansas, marking their first major test under head coach Kenny Dillingham’s revamped roster. Coming off an 8-win season, the Sun Devils are brimming with new talent—especially at receiver—with transfers like Reed Harris and Omarion Miller poised to make immediate impacts. But challenges loom: quarterback Cutter Boley must energize an offense struggling on third downs, and a thin secondary needs quick reinforcements. This London clash will reveal how well the rebuilt squad gels early in the season.

Arizona State’s football team kicked off fall practice with zero surprises — no unexpected players showing up despite a Colorado court ruling that grants extra eligibility to athletes who started college in 2022. Key players like Myles Rowser and Jacob Kongaika could potentially return, but the roster remains full at 107, with some counted as “student-athletes” outside the scholarship limit. Coach Dillingham hinted at one possible addition still in flux, but emphasized his team is ready to play. With shifting legal rulings complicating roster planning, ASU is focused on what they have — and getting back to work.

A major court ruling just gave high school athletes from 2022 a fifth year of eligibility, shaking up college football recruiting and rosters. Arizona State, already at its scholarship limit of 105 players, is holding its breath for one undecided athlete — whose identity remains private out of respect — while coaches admit the situation is still fluid. Though they’re preparing for training camp as if their roster is set, the ruling’s full impact remains uncertain, with ripple effects expected across the sport as teams adjust to new opportunities.

Oklahoma State’s shot at a Big 12 title hinges on dominating Arizona State in this high-stakes showdown—where controlling the line of scrimmage and shutting down a loaded Sun Devils receiving corps are non-negotiable. With Caleb Hawkins needing room to run and a shaky pass defense facing elite receivers, OSU’s success depends on relentless pressure on new QB Cutter Boley. Win or lose, this game exposes whether the Cowboys can rise to the occasion under the spotlight.

Sam Leavitt finally speaks out on his surprise transfer from Arizona State to LSU, revealing it was about seeking the right developmental environment—not drama or conflict. He credits the people and time in Tempe but admits injuries and a rocky end to his 2025 season at ASU made the move feel inevitable. Fans were stunned, especially after he skipped the team banquet and left without explanation—though Leavitt insists no hard feelings toward Coach Dillingham or the program.

Oklahoma State heads to Tempe for a pivotal showdown against Arizona State, the second-to-last game of their season. While the Cowboys, under new coach Eric Morris, have struggled recently, the Sun Devils, led by Kenny Dillingham, are building momentum after a Big 12 title and an eight-win season. Arizona State’s defensive line, anchored by C.J. Fite and MyKeil Gardner, is primed to stop Oklahoma State’s elite running back Caleb Hawkins — a key to forcing the Cowboys into a predictable offense. With veteran linebacker Martell Hughes and transfer standout Owen Long behind them, ASU’s defense could be the difference-maker in this high-stakes clash.
