ASU’s Kenny Dillingham on which players have stood out in spring
ASU football coach Kenny Dillingham spoke with the media about which players have impressed him the most in spring practice.
What a difference just one season can make.
Before the 2024 college football season, Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham was ranked near the bottom of most Big 12 football coach rankings, including coming in at No. 14 on a list from USA TODAY Sports.
But after leading Arizona State to an 11-3 record and Big 12 Championship last season, including a Peach Bowl and College Football Playoff appearance, Dillingham has vaulted up some Big 12 football coach rankings for the 2025 season, with one USA TODAY Sports ranking even putting him all the way at No. 1.
That definitely beats being ranked No. 14.

Why Kenny Dillingham was ranked No. 1 in 2025 Big 12 football coach rankings
Jordan Mendoza wrote of Dillingham’s 2025 ranking: “This may be a case of recency bias, but Dillingham has orchestrated one of the great turnarounds in college football. Returning to his alma mater, he inherited a team reeling from the Herm Edwards era, and it showed with a 3-9 debut season. But after Arizona State was picked to finish last in the Big 12 in 2024, it won the conference and made the College Football Playoff. Dillingham has brought fire back to the Sun Devils and at just 34-years-old, he’s setting the path for a long, successful career.”
