Arizona State picked up two important transfer portal commitments on Monday.
It’s been a great Monday for the Arizona State football team, as the Sun Devils secured two significant commitments from the transfer portal. First, Jaren Hamilton, a former wide receiver from Alabama, announced his decision to join Arizona State. Following that, they also received a commitment from Nyland Green, a cornerback who transferred from Purdue after spending three seasons at Georgia. Let’s take a closer look at Hamilton first.
“BREAKING: Alabama transfer WR Jaren Hamilton has committed to Arizona State, he tells @on3sports,” posted Hayes Fawcett. “The 6’1″, 200 lb WR will have 3 years of eligibility remaining and was rated as a Four-Star Recruit in the 2023 class (according to On3).”
Bringing in a wide receiver with potential is significant for the Arizona State football team. Quarterback Sam Leavitt will return next season, so providing him with another weapon is crucial.
During the 2024 season at Alabama, Hamilton didn’t see much action, typical for a freshman. He spent most of the season on the sidelines, but he did manage to make one tackle, not making any receptions.
Now, Hamilton is headed to join the Sun Devils, where he will be joined by Nyland Green.
“BREAKING: Former Georgia and Purdue CB Nyland Green has committed to Arizona State, he tells @on3sports,” shared Hayes Fawcett. “The 6’2″, 186 lb CB will have 1 year of eligibility left and was ranked as a Five-Star recruit in the 2021 class (according to On3).”
Nyland Green began his college career at Georgia in 2021 and has played four seasons with major programs, bringing a wealth of experience to the Sun Devils.
While at Georgia, Green didn’t make a huge impact initially, but he improved over time, recording a career-high seven tackles in his final season. Following that year, he transferred to Purdue, where he made a more significant contribution.
In the most recent season, Green totaled 23 tackles, defended five passes, recorded two sacks, and forced one fumble. He played a vital role in Purdue’s defense and is now set to bring those skills to Arizona State, marking his third college program.
The two transfers coming to Arizona State have differing levels of experience, but both are valuable additions with considerable potential. One is a player with limited game time who could develop over the next three to four years, while the other is a seasoned veteran expected to make an immediate impact.
Arizona State recently had its best season in years, winning the Big 12 and reaching the College Football Playoff for the first time. The outlook appears very promising for the Sun Devils!
