Arizona State Gridiron Standouts Named Preseason All-Big 12 by National Media Outlet
Arizona State Gridiron Standouts Named Preseason All-Big 12 by National Media Outlet originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's preseason list time in college football, and the USA Today Sports Network has issued its version of the 2025 preseason All-Big 12 football team. And the Arizona State Sun Devils are well-represented. Advertisement In a story by Eugene Rapay of the Des Moines Register, the Sun Devils placed four talented players on the all-conference team. Quarterback Sam Leavitt was named the conference Player of the Year and first-team All-Big 12. In 2024, Leavitt threw for over 2,800 yards and accounted for 29 TDs on the way to the Big 12 crown and a playoff berth. Leavitt is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender. Joining Leavitt on the team is his favorite wide receiver, Jordyn Tyson. Tyson is the top returning receiver in the conference this season after posting 75 receptions and scoring 10 TDs a season ago. Also on the offensive unit is Sun Devils offensive lineman Ben Coleman. An honorable mention All-Big 12 a season ago, Coleman is one of the more experienced linemen for the Sun Devils. He has played over 2,400 snaps at multiple positions along the offensive line and is Leavitt's bodyguard in the pocket. Advertisement DB Xavion Alford represents the Sun Devils' defense on the all-conference team for 2025. Alford earned first-team All-Big 12 honors last season after racking up 85 tackles, two INTs and five pass breakups. One Sun Devil missing from this preseason list is head coach Kenny Dillingham. 2025 Preseason Coach of the Year honors in the conference went to Joey McGuire of Texas Tech. Dillingham was the king of the Big 12 coaches in 2024. The Sun Devils welcome back 17 starters from last year's squad that posted 11 wins. Coaching continuity also returns as Dillingham welcomes back both offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo and defensive coordinator Brian Ward. The 'Desert Fox' Dillingham has built a juggernaut in the Valley of the Sun and the Big 12 and the college football world are on notice in 2025.

Arizona State Skill Players Ranked Among Top 50 Players in College Football
Arizona State Skill Players Ranked Among Top 50 Players in College Football originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Arizona State Sun Devils are set up for another season of championship football. According to the Top 50 college football player rankings for 2025, put out by Dalton Wasserman and Max Chadwick at Pro Football Focus (PFF) College, two of ASU's skill players made the list. Advertisement QB Sam Leavitt (#17) and WR Jordyn Tyson (#18) return to the Valley of the Sun for potentially another season of championship football. Leavitt and Tyson led the Sun Devils to a Big 12 title after one of the biggest turnarounds in school history, going from just three victories in 2023 to 11 in 2024. Then they gave the Texas Longhorns all they could handle in the college football playoff before losing a 2OT epic battle. According to PFF College, Leavitt was the only quarterback at a Power Four program to post an 80.0 or higher grade at both throwing the football and running with it. Leavitt gained over 3,300 yards of total offense last season. Advertisement Tyson is as talented a receiver as there is in college football. Last season, Tyson caught 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 TDs. He averaged 14.68 yards per catch. Expectations are high for the Sun Devils, and rightfully so. They return 17 starters and have continuity on their coaching staff. Now that running back Cam Skattebo has moved on to the NFL, Leavitt and Tyson will be the focus of what will surely be offensive fireworks in the Valley in 2025.
