But what those around the nation may not realize is that the backfield cupboard is anything but bare. Kyson Brown was the Sun Devils' second back last year, and flashed his vast potential, highlighted by a 100-yard game against Arizona. This spring, the rising junior made a strong case to be the lead back for ASU, showing good power to go with his track speed.

On this episode, we discuss his growth heading into Year 3, the depth of the backfield, Shaun Aguano's influence, the meaning of his new number, and more. /episode/index/show/speakofthedevils/id/37008510

Sitdown Series - Jason Mohns (2025) For Jason Mohns, the Sun Devils' Playoff run of 2024 was extra gratifying. Sure, his tight ends produced an All-Big 12 selection and were an integral part of the offense's success. But beyond that, Mohns—an ASU grad, a son of a former ASU coach, and Valley high school coaching legend—was a key part of the group that finally activated the Valley. With a deep group of tight ends in his room, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting follow-up.

He'll once again be a critical part of the Devils' defense in the trenches in 2025.
