Three players who had 400 yards in receptions or more return in seniors Brandon Aiyuk and Kyle Williams and junior Frank Darby. All expect Aiyuk to inherit the lead role. The transfer from Sierra Community College in Northern California was playing well at the end of last season, setting himself up to take a starring role this year. He should be an impact performer on special teams, as well. Fisher is looking forward to seeing how Aiyuk embraces the challenge.

"He's a tremendously skilled player. The ceiling is high for him. I don't want to say he snuck up on people because he was highly thought out of junior college but we had N'Keal and everyone was looking at him," Fisher said. "It's different when you're the guy with the bullseye every week and he will be that guy this year. Life will get harder." Aiyuk bristles at the notion that he is going to be looked at as the lead performer of the group. "I don't think I have done anything special yet. I still think I have to prove myself," he said after Saturday's scrimmage wrapped a week at Camp Tontozona. "I'm just trying to work hard to be myself and hopefully good things will happen." - Arizona Republic

Junior running back Eno Benjamin continued to be worked into the passing game, something Edwards plans to emphasize this season. He says he would like Benjamin to finish with 50 catches this season. He had 35 last season. "If he wants to play at the next level, the good ones can come out of the backfield and catch the ball. That will give us good matchups, too," Edwards said. - Arizona Republic

08/01/19 - Cohl Cabral, Sr/2020, Arizona State, 6-5, 300 (DS#8 C) + More +

The Sun Devils officially kicked off practice on Wednesday night and the session ran for two hours and 20 minutes, about 10 minutes longer than expected. Senior Cohl Cabral moved from center to left tackle, replacing senior Zach Robertson, the projected starter there, and Edwards confirmed that the move wasn't just for the night. Robertson will be out for at least the near future and Edwards conceded he could miss games while dealing with "personal matters." "When he's ready to come back we'll get him back but right now he could be out awhile," Edwards said.

Cabral is considered an NFL prospect at center and returned to ASU for his senior season rather than declare for the NFL draft, hoping to improve his stock at that position. The position is not unfamiliar to Cabral however. He did play left tackle before moving to center last season and offensive line coach Dave Christensen says Cabral has the athleticism and agility to play every position on the line. - Arizona Republic

08/01/19 - Roe Wilkins, rSr/2020, Arizona State, 6-3, 273 (DS#90 DE) + More +

Last year, it was Casey Tucker from Stanford and Roy Hemsley from USC joining Arizona State football as transfers. This year, Roe Wilkins from Rice and Cody Shear from Oregon are new to the Sun Devils, filling immediate needs and those over the next few season. Wilkins (6-4, 273) is a grad transfer with the potential to impact the defensive line in his single season at ASU like Tucker did in 2018 on the offensive line.

For Wilkins, who had some individual success at Rice, the move was predicated on finding a place where he could experience more team success. ASU won more games last season (7) than Rice from 2016-18 (6). "I wanted to win," Wilkins said after practice No. 1 Wednesday night. "I was tired of the losing culture. Those guys are getting it turned around over there, but I have one year left and they've got a process (to improve). I wish them them the best, I really do. That team will always be in my heart, but I'm here to win and put myself in position to be great." - Arizona Republic

The University of Miami announced Wednesday that sophomore defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera sustained a right foot injury and "will undergo surgery later this week." Silvera was seen in a walking boot during practice Tuesday. The school said a timetable for his return will be available after surgery. The injury is believed to be the Hurricanes' first of fall camp, which opened last Friday. Silvera, from Pembroke Pines, graduated from Plantation American Heritage. At 6-2 and 305 pounds, he played in 10 games and had 13 tackles in 2018. - Miami Herald

2019 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LIST: Eno Benjamin, Arizona State, Junior, RB,... Following a historic sophomore campaign that saw him lead the Sun Devil rushing attack, Benjamin will look to factor in ASU's special team attack. The talented junior will see an increased roll in ASU's special teams unit, appearing as a return specialist following the departure of N'Keal Harry who was drafted by the defending Super Bowl Champion Patriots in the first round of last year's NFL draft. He topped the Pac-12 with a school-record 1,642 rushing yards, carding triple-digit efforts on nine different occasions. Following the season, Eno was Arizona State's lone representative on the All-Conference First Team. - Arizona State Football

2019 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LIST: Kyle Williams, Arizona State, Senior, WR,...Williams is a standout player on the field, as well as in the classroom. While he has also enjoyed a tremendous amount of success off the field during his time as a Sun Devil. He has twice earned All-Pac-12 Academic recognition, earning a second-team nod following the 2018 season.

While most players enjoy their summer's off, Williams has spent his summers shadowing Dr. Anikar Chhabra at the world–renowned Mayo Clinic, working as a research intern. While Williams does have hopes of one-day playing in the NFL, he also has a long-term goal of pursuing a career in medicine. - Arizona State Football

2019 PRESEASON PAUL HORNUNG AWARD WATCH LIST: Eno Benjamin, Arizona State,...Benjamin, who has now been named to four preseason watch lists, will return to the field in 2019 looking to top his impressive offensive production from the 2018 season.

The talented junior will see an increased roll in ASU's special teams unit, appearing as a return specialist following the departure of N'Keal Harry who was drafted by the defending Super Bowl Champion Patriots in the first round of last year's NFL draft.

He was the first freshman to lead the team in tackles since Jason Shivers in 2001 and the first freshman to lead the team in tackles for loss and sacks since Junior Onyeali in 2010. - Arizona State Football

2019 PRESEASON OUTLAND TROPHY WATCH LIST: C Cohl Cabral, Arizona State,...Cabral, who was tabbed to the Rimington Trophy Watch List last week, earned a spot on the 2019 Outland Trophy Watch List following a 2018 season that saw him start all 13 games for the Sun Devils last season at center, and was widely respected as one of the best in all of college football. One of just 15 Power Five centers to not allow a sack last season, Cabral was instrumental in helping pave the way for a record-breaking season from Sun Devil running back Eno Benjamin, while also anchoring a line that allowed just 16 sacks all season - good for the third-fewest allowed by an ASU offensive line in program history. - Arizona State Football

The Nixa, Missouri, native also handled kickoff duties, recording 37 touchbacks on 51 kickoffs, highlighted by a season-high six touchbacks in wins vs. Samford and Wake Forest, and was named the Seminoles' Special Teams MVP. - Florida State Football

2019 PRESEASON LOTT IMPACT TROPHY WATCH LIST: TYLER WHILEY, Arizona State, LB/DB,...Whiley was granted a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA after suffering a broken foot prior to the start of what would have been his senior campaign in 2018. He is one of 42 men in the NCAA, and one of seven players from the Pac-12, to make the preseason watch list. Although he didn't touch the field in 2018, as a junior, Whiley played in each of ASU's 13 games and blocked a punt against Oregon that led to a Brandon Ruiz field goal in a game the Devils would go on to win by two points. The Lott IMPACT trophy is voted on by a panel of selected national media, previous finalists, the Board of Directors of the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation and a distinguished group of former college football head coaches. - Arizona State Football
