He’s a “football player” — defensive backs coach T.J. Rushing described his new cornerback.
Playing both offense and defense is nothing out of the ordinary for redshirt sophomore John Humphrey. He was a two-way athlete at Clear Falls High School (League City, Texas), and was originally recruited by defensive coordinator Phil Bennett at Baylor as a cornerback.
Humphrey originally attended Oklahoma as a wide receiver in 2015, then transferred to ASU the next year where he lined up in the same position and dominated in his Sun Devil debut.
In Arizona State’s 37-31 season-opening win over New Mexico State, Humphrey recorded a team-high 123 yards and a touchdown.
