TEMPE -- The Arizona State Sun Devils are less than two weeks away from finishing their 2025 football campaign, but this week is proof that there's more meaning beyond the football field.

  • C.J. Fite, BS Business Entrepreneurship

Fite is still waiting to make a final decision as to whether he'll enter the 2026 NFL draft or return for his final season of collegiate action. He did suit up for practice on Thursday, for what it's worth.

Gomez knocked down 21 field goals on the season - including three separate kicks that eventually won the Sun Devils the game.
