TEMPE -- Just over four months remain until the 2026 Arizona State Sun Devils take the Mountain America Stadium field for the first time in the campaign.

The September 5 season opener against Morgan State will not only usher in year four of the already immortalized head coach Kenny Dillingham, but it also marks a stark transition into a new era after a multitude of players either ran out of eligibility, moved on to pursue NFL dreams, or both.

The departure of players such as Jordyn Tyson will certainly sting as the season moves closer, but the new generation of Sun Devils coming in appears to be as promising as any group that has been brought in by Dillingham.

Arizona State's New-look Roster is Promising

Over 40 new players are poised to make their debut for the program in September, out of the 105-man roster that has been in place over the last couple of seasons. Among the newcomers are star-studded wide receivers Omarion Miller and Reed Harris, who are set to shape one of the most dynamic duos in the entire FBS.

Other intriguing transfer portal additions include quarterbacks Cutter Boley and Mikey Keene, who are locked into a battle to see who begins the season at the top of the depth chart, as well as LB Owen Long, who paced the nation in tackles a season ago. Several defensive transfers stood out beyond Long in spring, including CB Ashton Stamps - this should be an intriguing unit for DC Brian Ward to manage.

As for the incoming freshman class, all eyes are on 4-star freshman QB Jake Fette, who very much appears to be the player of the future at the position. Fette is joined by fellow standouts in EDGE Julian Hugo, CB DaQuwan Dunn, and many others in what is shaping up to be the best freshman class that Dillingham has ever constructed.

This year (as much as others) is marked by unique personalities that are easy to root for across the roster - keep up with each of the new additions on the 2026 roster below via Arizona State on SI.
