When the word veteran is used in sports, most people think of a player who has been around for multiple years. But ASU has changed this assumption as freshmen continue to start games on the defensive side of the ball.
“I came out here. I worked hard,” freshman safety Aashari Crosswell said. “Everything is paying off right now. But they don’t consider me as a freshman anymore, they consider me as a veteran.”
Crosswell has played in every game for the Sun Devils in just his first year.
“Freshmen playing at this time of year, none of them, and I mean none of them have played this much football in one season,” defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales said.
