Arizona State Offense Preview 2025: Sam Leavitt Takes Over the Sun Devil Attack
The Sun Devil offense was brutally effective and efficient.It was great on third downs, blasted away with the ground game, was third in the nation in fewest turnovers, and led the Big Ten and was tenth in the nation in time of possession.It loses a superstar in running back Cam Skattebo, but offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo is still around, and helped by the transfer portal, this year's attack might be even more talented.
X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFN2025 Arizona State Preview Arizona State Defense BreakdownSeason Prediction, Win Total, Keys to Season - Let's cut to the chase - how do you replace someone like Cam Skattebo? The Heisman finalist ran for over 1,700 yards with 21 touchdowns, and caught 45 passes for 605 yards and three scores.Junior Kyson Brown doesn't have the power of Skattebo, but he ran for 351 yards and two scores last season. Kanye Udoh (Army) should be the new star coming off a massive ten-touchdown season, averaging over six yards per carry.
- The passing game should do even more. Sam Leavitt is a baller's baller, finishing second on the team with 443 yards and five scores, and throwing for almost 3,000 yards with 24 touchdowns and six picks. The sophomore quarterback will be the signature star, and well-traveled veteran Jeff Sims is good enough to fill in when needed.
- Jordyn Tyson will once again be among the Big 12's best receivers. Dangerous in the slot, he's back and healthy after missing the Big 12 Championship and CFP battle with Texas. Before that, he caught 75 passes for 1,101 yards and ten scores.Malik McClain is back to push for the outside job, but Noble Johnson (Clemson) has the wheels to be in the mix. Jalen Moss caught 103 passes with ten scores over the last two years at Fresno State. Tight end Chamon Metayer was third on the team with 32 catches with five touchdowns.
- The line that was so solid gets back a slew of star parts. All-Big 12 blocker Ben Coleman can play center or guard, Josh Atkins is great at left tackle, and the right side is intact with Max Iheanachor at tackle and Kyle Scott at guard. The fifth spot will likely to go to transfer Jimeto Obigbo (Texas State) on the inside if Makua Pule doesn't grab the center gig.Arizona State Defense Breakdown 2025 Arizona State Preview Season Prediction, Win Total, Keys to Season

Oregon's Evan Stewart Has 4-Word Message After Season-Ending Injury
Oregon's Evan Stewart Has 4-Word Message After Season-Ending Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oregon Ducks are coming off one of their best seasons in the history of their football program. They ran the table in the regular season, which was particularly impressive when you take into account that it was their first season in the Big Ten Conference. They were pitted against some of the best, including the Ohio State Buckeyes. Advertisement The Ducks thrillingly took that game and left that game with many around the country believing they were the best team in college football. They went on to defeat the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten Championship Game and were awarded the No. 1 overall seed in the College Football Playoff. Dillon Gabriel and Evan Stewart of the Oregon Ducks© Troy Wayrynen-Imagn Images Oregon's Evan Stewart has 4-word message after season-ending injury The Oregon Ducks' offense was one of the best in college football this past season with Dillon Gabriel at the helm. During his lone season at Oregon, Gabriel tied Case Keenum's record for career passing touchdowns with 155. However, the Ducks fell to the Buckeyes in a rematch in the Rose Bowl. Advertisement While Gabriel was impressive at the helm of the offense, he did a solid job of spreading the ball around, getting multiple players involved. No Ducks pass catcher finished with even 900 yards, but saw four players finish with 40-plus receptions. The Ducks will be without one of those key receivers after Evan Stewart recently suffered a torn patellar tendon. Following the injury, Stewart had a four-word message for Ducks fans. "Ouuu we gon brb," Stewart said on his Instagram story. The message could mean a multitude of things. He could be hinting at a comeback or using it as motivation that he'll come back strong next season. Advertisement Stewart transferred in from Texas A&M last offseason and tallied 48 catches, the second-most on the Ducks, for 613 yards and five touchdowns. The Ducks will surely miss his production this season as they seek to return to the College Football Playoff with UCLA transfer Dante Moore at quarterback. Using the next man up approach, five-star true freshman Dakorien Moore could be poised for a substantial workload right away. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

BTN analyst says prepare for a 'different', more versatile Coen Carr this upcoming season
BTN analyst says prepare for a 'different', more versatile Coen Carr this upcoming season "We will see a different Coen Carr this season. It could get scary if that ball handling has improved like his jumper." Carson Cooper told me Monday that we will see a different Coen Carr this season. It could get scary if that ball handling has improved like his jumper. 🫣🤯 — Rapheal Davis (@RaphealDavis3) June 19, 2025 One Big Ten hoops analyst has reportedly heard it's time to prepare for a "different" Coen Carr this upcoming season. If you follow Michigan State basketball (or really college basketball as a whole), you know that Carr can throw down some of the best dunks out there and has pure incredible unmatched athletic ability. However, the focus to improve his shooting and ball handling has apparently been on display this offseason, with Rapheal Davis of the Big Ten Network recently saying he's heard positive things around this part of his game. According to Davis, he said he has recently heard from Carr's Spartan teammate Carson Cooper "that we will see a different Coen Carr this season." Davis went on to add that "it could get scary if that ball handling has improved like (Carr's) jumper." These statements from Davis were posted on social media platform X after quote tweeting a highlight post of Carr during what appears to be offseason workouts. You can see the full post from Davis and the accompanying highlights below: Carr showed significant improvements in his all-around game this past season, jumping from 3.1 points to 8.1 points and 1.8 rebounds to 3.6 rebounds per game from his freshman to his sophomore season. It was clear early in the season that Carr was no longer just a highlight-generator and more of a complete basketball player at the Big Ten level. Carr is expected to be one of the top players on the Spartans' squad next year, and his need to meet those expectations only grew this week with the news of Kaleb Glenn's injury. If Carr can truly take the next step with his ball handling and outside shooting, then he will be an All-Big Ten selection next year. I'm very confident in that statement, and hearing this kind of feedback about Carr's growth excites me for what's to come this upcoming season.
