Under head coach Kenny Dillingham, the Sun Devils finished the regular season 8-4 and were just a few outcomes away from defending their Big 12 title. That didn’t stop the conference, however, from recognizing several ASU players for their performances this season.
The following players made the following teams:
All Big 12 First Team Honors: Keith Abney II, Jordyn Tyson and Raleek Brown.
All Big 12 Second Team Honors:Â Keyshaun Elliott, Jordan Crook and Max Iheanachor.
All Big 12 Third Team Honors: Justin Wodtly, Prince Dorbah and Ghost Rowser.
All Big 12 Honorable Mention: Chamon Metayer, Derek Eusebio and Jesus Gomez.

With 12 Sun Devils recognized among the best in the conference, the honors highlight the program’s continued rise and its development of top-tier talent.
It’s not just about the number of players receiving awards, but instead about the balance. From offense to defense to special teams, ASU fielded a multidimensional roster. Arizona State’s spread of honors reflects a program built over the last several years on consistency and adaptability.

These honors will undoubtedly carry weight for the program, even as some seniors move on from the Valley. Proving that ASU can develop players of this caliber will no doubt entice future recruits to take a close look at the Sun Devils and the culture being established.
ASU’s resurgence over the last three years is paying off, with recruits, media attention and conference recognition. The Sun Devils are no longer an afterthought; they are a force.
