Arizona State football filled one of its biggest needs for 2017 and beyond Monday with a commitment from kicker Brandon Ruiz of Gilbert Williams Field High School.
Ruiz decommitted from Alabama on Sunday then followed up by announcing via social media that he will stay home to follow Groza Award winner Zane Gonzalez at ASU. He is rated as the nation's No. 2 prep kicking prospect by 247 Sports and made USA Today All-American second team.
Gonzalez finished his ASU career as the major college leader in field goals and points by a kicker. He was the Sun Devils' third unanimous All-America as a senior.
