Arizona State Poised for Major Recruiting Breakthrough
The Arizona State Sun Devils have a unique opportunity to elevate their recruiting profile and prove themselves on the national stage.
ASU has been making steady progress with the 2026 recruiting class, landing commitments from key states like Texas, Arizona, and even California—three areas they’ve heavily targeted. Though they’ve secured only 18 commitments so far, the program is in a strong position to compete for top national talent, especially with growing interest in head coach Kenny Dillingham. 
Following a strong season that included a playoff appearance and a hard-fought loss to Texas, the Sun Devils have shown they can compete at the highest level. With Dillingham at the helm, ASU is considered a legitimate contender in the Big 12—not just this year, but potentially for years to come.
Looking ahead, the Sun Devils are continuing to work on both the 2026 and 2027 classes, signaling their long-term vision. They now have a golden chance to boost their recruiting appeal by making a statement in Week 2 of the season, as they head to SEC country to face Mississippi State.
After a solid season-opening win over Northern Arizona, a road victory against an SEC team would send a strong message—not just to fans, but to recruits watching closely. If ASU can pull off a win, it could significantly boost their national credibility and show top prospects that the program is on the rise.
In short, this early-season matchup isn’t just about the scoreboard—it’s a key opportunity for Arizona State to raise its profile and make a lasting impact on the recruiting trail.
