Both players practiced all spring with the Sun Devils before deciding to transfer. Without each of them, ASU has 16 other players listed on its roster at both of the respective positions.
Thomas Le Boucher is now a senior and committed out of JuCo to the Sun Devils in 2022. He is listed at 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds and was projected to be a backup for the Sun Devils this season.
ASU has a glaring weakness with its offensive line and will attempt to strengthen it before the season starts.
Kenny Dillingham said he’s not done trying to upgrade ASU’s team for this season: “I’m going to do everything I can to make this roster the best roster possible for these seniors.”
OL, DT are areas where they can still use more help, maybe LB.

Rivera-Harvey, who is listed at 6-foot-2 and 310 pounds, also committed to the Sun Devils before last season out of junior college. He was a three-star prospect and ESPN’s No. 4 defensive tackle prospect out of JuCo.
After recording 27 tackles and 1.5 sacks his last season in junior college, Rivera-Harvey had two tackles in nine games for the Sun Devils last season.
The Sun Devils have plenty of talent on the defensive line, including junior B.J. Green, incoming freshman C.J. Fite, sophomore transfer Clayton Smith, freshman transfer Tristan Monday and sophomore Gharin Stansbury.
Coach Kenny Dillingham will work to get more depth on the offensive and defensive line as well as in other areas.
