In yesterday's installment of our offseason countdown series, we looked at Fast Freddie Williams, one of the biggest names of the 70's. Today, we flip to the present to feature a Sun Devil newcomer who is looking to instantly upgrade Arizona State's weakest area from last year.
Jesus Gomez was born in Mexico, but always had dreams of playing American football, a sport only recently starting to grow in popularity there. His only FBS scholarship offer came at Eastern Michigan, one of the farthest possible options from home for Gomez. He took it.
Gomez quickly became the starting kicker for the Eagles, and had a chance encounter with Arizona State along the way.
