ASU has stated 14, 9, 7, 7, 8, 6, 4, 6, 3,5, 4, 4, 5, and 6 white players last season (there was no write-up in 2013).
This year back down to an all time low of just ....2.

****EDIT***** >>> 5 Staters<<<<

Diversity ; Equity and Inclusion n Full effect In a state that's demographics are maybe 10 % black? ....flip that upside down and that is what you get this football squad. Crazy to look back 14 years ago and see 14 white starters. How many more potential white players are now opting for Baseball; Soccer; LaCrosse ; video games ; etc? This + generally being overlooked by HS Recruiting Services and this is what you get.

Look to bounce back after a putrid 3 - 9 season .Both pre season depth charts had QB's Trenton Bourquet & Drew Pyne (Notre Dame transfer)"Battling for the Starting" position; however ESPN Tuesday Night said Freshman hot shot Jaden Rashada had been named the starter. We shall see how the season shakes out.

Speedy Transfer WR Jake Smith (RS Jr.) 6'-0 205 is ready to make a big impact ; however NCAA denied the Transfer appeal. And they are getting slammed for the ruling! Was the Arizona Gatorade HS Player of the Year back in 2018. Injuries have set him back during his career.

The O-Line could start 3 Poly's

Despite all of this....FCS Stud transfer(Sacramento St) RB Cameron Skattebo (Jr. 5'-10" 222) is MUST-SEE TV . Dude is special! Look for # 4 on the Uniform!

Others to Watch
C Ben Bray ; RT Emmitt Bohle ; Interesting WALK ON RB @ 6'-3" 220 Fr. Sinjin Schmitt
DE Michael Matus ; (RS Fr.) DT Tristian Monday ; DT Sam Benjamin (Idaho St. Transfer) ;
LB (RS Fr.) Tate Romney (BYU Transfer)...can he become eventual starter ?

Last years starting LBer duo of brothers Kyle Soelle & Connor Soelle BOTH graduated.

OFFENSE
RB Cameron Skattebo
RG Joey Ramos
*RT Emmitt Bohle

DEFENSE
*DT Tristan Monday
*LB Tate Romney

How many of the 133 FBS Teams do ZERO White players "Start" on a Defense??
This is research and trends lurkers.
EDIT....Make that 2 ...figured Romney could start at some point this season,

Its to bad there isn’t a betting line on QB competitions in college. A guy could make a killing betting on black!

Ridiculously dark team. Even with a White RB it feels like an L.

Trash but you make a great point- I bet you could take a few of the best lacrosse players in many states plug them in as wr’s and you’d get a better set of wideouts than the overrated magical athletes

Well I hope they win a few games for skattebo’s sake. He will no doubt be the fall guy if they drop a couple games in a row.

EDIT.....The 2 is now 5 white starters.

DEFENSE went from 0 to 2.....LB Tate Romney & DT Tristan Monday

OFFENSE went from 2 to 3 with addition of RT Emmitt Bohle

RB Cameron Skattebo led the team in Rushing in the season opener ( 17 carries 71 yards & TD + 4 rec 41 yards ) vs. Southern Utah in a dust storm/weather delay that lasted hours.

Only beating the FCS Thunderbirds 24 - 21 does not bode well for the future. We shall see this coming weekend as they do host Big 12 Oklahoma State.

I can only hope that the NIL grifter quota gets exposed as the season goes on.

Skattebo had a nice debut though and should at least surpass 1K total yards with a 1k rushing season something that is certainly feasible.
