  09/06/19 - Eno Benjamin, Jr/2020, Arizona State, 5-09, 207 (DS#13 RB) + More +

  Arizona State's Eno Benjamin slipped into an open area across the middle, sprinted past a defender and into the end zone for a long fourth-quarter touchdown. Until that big play, the Sun Devils seemed bogged down in the desert sand, unable to get out of their own way. Struggling against an FCS opponent wasn't exactly what they had in mind for a Top 25 tuneup. Benjamin caught a 72-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, Cristian Zendejas kicked four field goals and Arizona State labored to a 19-7 win over Sacramento State on Friday night. "We can't play offense on our heels," Arizona State coach Herm Edwards said. "That's what it looked like a lot of tonight."

Arizona State (2-0) overcame inexperience - 25 freshmen saw action - with a convincing 30-7 opening win against Kent State. The Sun Devils saw Friday night's game as a chance to clean up a few things with a road game against No. 19 Michigan State next. Instead, they had a few growing pains against the Hornets (1-1) after beating them 55-0 in the teams' only other meeting. Arizona State's offense sputtered, plagued by off-target passes, drops and an ineffective running game against a team ranked 115th in total defense last season - in the FCS. "As an offense, I really didn't feel like we played to the standard we set as an offense," said Arizona State's Jayden Daniels, who threw for 304 yards and a touchdown on 17-of-27 passing. - AP College Football

  08/16/18 - Jack Jones, rSr/2022, Arizona State, 5-11, 177 (DS#34 CB) + More +

  Arizona State's talented and deep secondary just got even deeper. Former five-star recruit Jack Jones has joined the Sun Devils and will have two years of eligibility remaining. He played for two seasons at USC before attending a junior college in 2018-19. Jones is a product of Long Beach Poly High School where he played under Antonio Pierce, now ASU's linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator.

He was rated the No. 19 overall prospect and No. 2 cornerback in the 2016 class by 247Sports and becomes the second-highest-rated recruit in 247Sports history to suit up for the Sun Devils, behind only Vontaze Burfict. Jones was a reserve for the Trojans in 2016 but started at cornerback the next season, managing 40 tackles, eight pass breakups and a team-leading four interceptions. - Arizona Republic

  08/11/19 - Brandon Aiyuk, Sr/2020, Arizona State, 6-0, 205 (DS#7 WR) + More +

  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

  08/04/19 - Eno Benjamin, Jr/2020, Arizona State, 5-09, 207 (DS#13 RB) + More +

  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. 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.
