A focus on preparation has the redshirt sophomore already playing ahead of schedule.
There was a play in the second quarter of Saturday’s game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, a fairly innocuous play that meant little in the grand scheme of a contest which featured 165 combined snaps between both Texas Tech and the Arizona State Sun Devils.
With 12:15 remaining in the second quarter and Arizona State facing a 2nd & 4, sophomore quarterback Manny Wilkins stood in a shotgun formation five yards behind his center. After surveying the defense, Wilkins motioned tight end Kody Kohl from the right side of the backfield to the left.
