Overview
- The Sun Devils released their initial Week 1 depth chart showing Cutter Boley as the starting quarterback, a decision confirmed by the program on Wednesday.
- The chart lists clear starters at many spots but shows multiple interchangeable players on the offensive line and at kicker and punter, signaling unresolved position battles.
- Arizona State confirmed three season-ending injuries to My'Keil Gardner, Zyrus Fiaseu and Nigel Pringle, increasing reliance on younger players and recent transfers for immediate snaps.
- Several incoming and returning players are slotted for key roles, including C.J. Fite on the defensive line, Owen Long at linebacker, and receivers Omarion Miller and Reed Harris on offense.
- ASU opens Sept. 5 against FCS opponent Morgan State as a heavy favorite, a tune-up before tougher early tests that will quickly expose turnover risks and depth limits.
