We continue to get closer to the opener against UTSA on September 1st, we point out the players who will affect ASU’s season the most.
Gone are linebackers Christian Sam and D.J. Calhoun, who were the Sun Devils two leading tacklers last year. With each fall practice is becomes more of a lock that freshmen Merlin Robertson and Darien Butler will take their place. The pair of newbies will have to replace a total 226 total tackles and nine and half sacks.
Robertson, a four-star recruit, was always thought of being a potential replacement in his first year because of his size and talent.
