Arizona State football continues to gain traction on a national level after its breakout 2024 season, winning the Big 12 Conference title and earning the No. 4 seed in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff.
ESPN recently released its 2026 college football recruiting rankings and it rates the Sun Devils high on the list with four-star quarterback Jake Fette from Texas and three-star defensive end Julian Hugo, also from Texas, leading the way for ASU.

Along with Fette, Hugo, Vercher and Scott, ASU has landed the commitment of eight three-star prospects, including one local prep player:
