Don't be surprised if Arizona State football is Pac-12's biggest story by spring practice

Expectations are soaring for Arizona State football in 2020 with some initial projections putting the Sun Devils toward the top of the Pac-12 South and others in the pre-season top 25.

The biggest reason analysts and observers expect ASU to take the next step toward big-dog status is recruiting.

Coach Herm Edwards has ASU coaches roaming across the West, planting pitchforks in new territory from Phoenix to Hawaii – with a heavy focus on California, in between.

University president “Dr. Michael Crow and I are extremely encouraged with the overall direction of the football program under Coach Edwards and his staff,” ASU athletic director Ray Anderson said recently, announcing a two-year extension for Edwards.
