Arizona State enters its 2026 Big 12 campaign at 3-2 after a challenging start marked by heavy roster turnover and a demanding schedule. With most offensive starters departed—including quarterback Sam Leavitt and top receiver Jordyn Tyson—the Sun Devils rely on Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley and new additions like receivers Reed Harris and Omarion Miller under coordinator Marcus Arroyo. Kenny Dillingham’s defense has remained competitive, but offensive inconsistencies and mounting injuries have surfaced. The remaining slate features ranked road tests at Texas Tech and BYU plus winnable home games against Kansas State, Colorado, and Oklahoma State, creating a narrow path around the 6.5-win total priced by traders. Recent momentum from the Hawaii victory offers limited cushion against the conference grind ahead.
