ASU Football: With perception reversed, expectations rise for young defense

There are plenty requirements for a college football player to meet. But at Arizona State, a select few don’t matter:

Your experience. Where you played. Who recruited you. And above all – your age.

The message became a rallying cry for coach Herm Edwards during his first full recruiting cycle. On Dec. 19’s early signing day, the program welcomed 17 new players, including three quarterbacks and eight prospects from the coveted state of California.

The bottom line?

You have a chance to play, right away. If you’re the best in practice, you’ll play on Saturday’s.
