The Arizona State football program finished early national signing day ranked in the bottom half of the Big 12 for its class of 2025 signings.

The Sun Devils currently have the eighth-ranked class in the conference and 48th overall in the country, according to 247sports. Head coach Kenny Dillingham was able to lock in some crucial pledges, bringing in the No. 1 player in New Mexico, four-star athlete Cameron Dyer, and four-star tight end AJ La out of California.

Those signings weren't enough for ASU's recruiting class to be considered one of the best, so there is still more work to do on the recruiting trail. Arizona State has a great opportunity to make some significant recruiting moves now that Dillingham's area of expertise just opened up: the college football transfer portal.

The winter transfer portal officially opened Dec. 9, and Dillingham and his Sun Devils are already on the hunt to fill in the gaps.

ASU made its way to a bye in the College Football Playoff on the backs of transfer portal pickups. The Sun Devils trio of All-Big 12 selections — redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Leavitt (Michigan State), redshirt sophomore Jordyn Tyson (Colorado) and senior running back Cam Skattebo (Sacramento State) — were all excellent portal finds by Dillingham, and he'll be looking to recruit more players just like them.

Dillingham said he'll be targeting offensive linemen, running backs and wide receivers on the offensive side of the ball. Arizona State had a room full of senior receivers that will need to be replaced and is looking for a complementary addition to play alongside Tyson. It won't be easy to find a running back that mirror's Skattebo, but it'll be a pivotal find if they can target someone half as tough as their offensive leader.

"(Skattebo's) leaving, and Skat's pretty good," Dillingham said. "So we need to find somebody to take out some of his carries. I feel good about the guys behind Skatt, but Skatt's a bigger back, so we gotta get another bigger back in here to replace him."

Defensively, Dillingham is looking to replace a defensive end, defensive tackle and a tough loss at the safety position with redshirt sophomore Kamari Wilson's name in the portal.

Wilson was one of nine Sun Devils to enter the transfer portal on opening day, and two more followed suit on Tuesday.
