ASU football preview: Five key position battles

Arizona State starts practice Aug. 5. Until then, we're rolling out a new feature every week to help get you ready for preseason camp.

Today: Five key position battles.

1. Tackles

ASU is in decent shape on the offensive line. Two linemen – senior center Nick Kelly and senior left guard Christian Westerman – are on the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy, given to the country's top interior lineman. A third, senior right guard Vi Teofilo, is approaching his third year of starting. That's a good start, but ASU has tough decisions to make at tackle.
