Skattebo is gone, and now it's on star quarterback Sam Leavitt to do even more.Arizona State was 10-0 when Leavitt hit 60% of his throws, and was 1-3 when he didn't. The one win came against Mississippi State when Skattebo went off and the team ran for a season-high 346 yards.
Arizona State Sun Devils Key Player
Kanye Udoh, RB Jr.Or Kyson Brown. To Moneyball this, can the combination of Brown and Udoh, and transfer from Army, combine to match the 1,711 rushing yards and 21 scores, and the 45 catches for 605 yards and three scores that Cam Skattebo ripped off? No, but they can be effective.Brown is a good veteran, and Udoh is a tough, quick runner who averaged over six yards per carry with 1,117 yards and ten scores last year. However, he only caught two passes with the Knights.2025 Arizona State PreviewArizona State Offense BreakdownArizona State Defense Breakdown
Arizona State Sun Devils Top Transfer, Biggest Transfer Loss
Top Transfer In: Nyland Green, CB Sr.Arizona State is already set at corner, but it got another strong option who should find a spot somewhere in the secondary pecking order. Green was a big recruit for Georgia, but he didn't do much in his three years.Last season, he made 23 tackles with five broken passes and two sacks, but he missed a bulk of the year hurt. One of the better corners in the portal, ASU got him.
Top Transfer Out: Markeston Douglas, TE Sr.Arizona State didn't lose any key players through the transfer portal, and that includes Douglas. He was a strong part of the Florida State offense, making 25 grabs with four scores in two years, and then he came to Tempe and caught just one pass for three yards. Now he's back at … Florida State.

Arizona State Sun Devils 2025 Season Prediction, Win Total, What Will Happen
Arizona State has the experience, the stars, the depth, and the mojo to keep it all going and be one of the best teams in the Big 12 again, and the country.And it'll need something special to come close to matching last year's success.
Going to Mississippi State is an under-the-radar early problem that could be a stumble, and there are few breaks in the Big 12 slate after an almost-certain win over Texas State.There's no BYU, Kansas State, or Oklahoma State to deal with. That's huge, and Cincinnati, Kansas, and UCF will all be better, and they're missing from the slate.Last year's team was able to get to, and win, the Big 12 Championship with losses to Texas Tech and Cincinnati along the way, and there will be at least two losses this time, too.
The three road games at Baylor, Iowa State, and Utah are all landmines, and while home games against Houston and West Virginia should be wins, TCU, Texas Tech, and Arizona aren't won't be layups.Set The Arizona State Win Total At … 8.5Likely Wins: Northern Arizona, Texas State50/50 Games: Arizona, at Baylor, at Colorado, Houston, at Iowa State, at Mississippi State, TCU, Texas Tech, at Utah, West VirginiaLikely Losses: No projected sure-thing losses 2025 Arizona State PreviewArizona State Offense BreakdownArizona State Defense Breakdown

Deion Sanders to hold press conference with Colorado medical team amid mysterious health battle
Deion Sanders provided a brief, positive health update Friday, and it seems the full reveal of his medical battle that has had him laying low this offseason is coming soon. Sanders tweeted 'Back and Feeling Great!' on X on Friday morning with his third season as Colorado's coach nearing, and will hold a press conference Monday with his medical team, which features staffers from CU Anschutz and UC Health, to 'provide general and team updates,' the school said in a release. The 57-year-old Sanders has not offered many details about the mysterious illness that has kept the camera friendly coach out of the spotlight this offseason. Advertisement 4 Deion Sanders at Big 12 media day on July 9. AP He missed part of the Buffaloes' spring and summer workouts due to the health issue, per ESPN, and also did not attend contract-stipulated summer football camps. Sanders told former NFL star cornerback Asante Samuel in May that 'what I'm dealing with right now is at a whole other level.' Advertisement The NFL Hall of Famer has battled various health scares in recent years, including having two toes amputated in 2021 and 2023 surgery for blood clots in his left leg. Sanders got a little testy at Big 12 media day earlier this month when pressed about the issue, although he downplayed any concern to ESPN. 4 Deion Sanders during Colorado's spring game in April. AP 'I'm already back,' Sanders told ESPN on July 9 at Big 12 media day. 'I'm here today. I'm handling my responsibilities. So I look forward to it. I can't wait. You've got to understand, some of the young (players) I haven't even met yet. I'm so excited about that.' Advertisement Sanders spent plenty of time this offseason at his compound in Canton, Texas, with his children joining him and providing infrequent health updates. 4 Deion Sanders coaching during the spring game. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect He said in a YouTube video posted July 20 by his oldest son, Deion Jr.. that, 'You know I'm still going through something' and 'I ain't all the way recovered.' Deion Jr. then referenced a 'battle that was fought and won' at the compound in his last YouTube video posted July 23. Advertisement Deion also recently visited son Shilo Sanders at the Buccaneers' facility while the undrafted safety attempts to crack the reigning NFC South champions' roster. 4 Deion Sanders (l) and Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles (d) during his recent visit. AP 'I'm kind of sad, I'm not gonna lie to you,' Deion Jr. said of leaving the compound. 'I learned to really actually love this place. … It's not even just about being here. It was like the battle that was fought here. The battle that was fought and won here. That's like the main important thing. Boys didn't left the house for two months. 'It's a blessing. He's gonna tell y'all whatever he went through very soon, and I've got a lot of it recorded on video. So, you'll be able to see what he went through.' Sanders faces perhaps his toughest coaching challenge this upcoming season since becoming Colorado's coach prior to the 2023 season. He will no longer have reigning Heisman winner and two-way phenom Travis Hunter, the No. 2 pick in the draft, or quarterback son Shedeur Sanders, who fell to the fifth round.
