Arizona State’s defensive line has been one of the bright spots of what has been a rough season so far and one of the best players on the defensive line that hasn’t been talked about enough is defensive interior lineman Dashaun Mallory who has been wreaking havoc in the trenches this season.

Mallory took to Twitter this week to talk about the achievements so far and how much he believed in himself to get to where he is right now this season.
Had to gamble on me.. no matter the stakes, to be victorious I often wonder what pain will come for me first.. what I was chasing, what I seek was bigger than me. To home, I’m giving it all I got. Blessed beyond measures ????????????♂️ #WhoWillFindMe https://t.co/sqDq98wnyC

So far this season, Mallory has 7 tackles and 0.5 sacks but his run defense has been something that has been best attributes to start the season.
His three stops for loss or no gain are 10th in the nation and his five total stops are 18th. He’s one of the biggest reasons why ASU is 4th in the Pac-12 in the rush defense and top 25 in the nation.

With USC coming to town this weekend, it will be pivotal for Mallory to continue his stellar play and all signs point to that there will be no signs of slowing down for the transfer Senior.
