On Cam Skattebo’s remarkable rise to becoming Arizona State’s offensive engine

With six former Texas Longhorns on the roster of the Arizona State Sun Devils, does Kenny Dillingham owe Steve Sarkisian a player like star running back Cam Skattebo for all those loaners?

“In all reality, I wish I would have discovered Cam when he was transferring the first time around. I was unaware, so kudos to them — they found him, and he’s a heck of a player,” Sarkisian said on Monday.

Sarkisian was far from the only coach to miss on Skattebo.

The rise of the 5’10, 215-pounder from Sacramento-area high school star to FCS standout at Sacramento State to one of the nation’s best running backs at Arizona State has captivated the attention of college football fans across the country and raised questions about how someone with such a unique skill set went overlooked for so long.
