Kenny Dillingham is flipping the script at Arizona State! After rewriting Transfer Portal history, the Sun Devils are making major moves to reshape their roster. Dillingham has been making significant moves in the world of college football recruiting, navigating through the chaos of portals and flip commitments. It’s almost like he’s in The Matrix, bending the rules to create a program where players not only come and go but actually stay and thrive.

While other teams are losing players to the transfer portal, one Big 12 team remains untouched. “No 2024 starters have entered the portal,” Chris Karpman points out on X. It’s quite an impressive feat. Kenny Dillingham is breaking records effortlessly. The Sun Devils defy expectations, fighting their way to the top and almost taking down the Longhorns. Now the team is making even more big moves by getting in three offensive linemen from the portal.

Arizona State has been making waves by keeping all of their starters, and now they are adding even more firepower to their roster. On Sunday, the Sun Devils secured three key transfers: Jimeto Obigbo from Texas State, Alexander Ruggeroli from Nebraska, and My’Keil Gardner from Oregon, according to On3Sports’ Pete Nakos. Dillingham’s out here stacking talent, and these moves show he’s serious about building a competitive squad.

Well, don’t just sleep on that; wait until you hear about the impressive track records these players hold. Obigbo brings valuable experience to ASU, having played 1,002 snaps as the starting right tackle for Texas State in 2023. Although he only saw action in 67 snaps in 2024, his time at Incarnate Word, where he played 967 snaps, demonstrates his ability to contribute.

Fun fact: Obigbo and ASU offensive lineman Josh Atkins both graduated from Mansfield Timberview High in 2021. On the other hand, Gardner ranked as the No. 55 defensive lineman in 2023, joins ASU with four years of eligibility. He was redshirted in 2023 and 2024 due to injuries but possesses serious potential for the Devils! Now, last but not least, let’s shift our focus to another significant addition.

Alexander Ruggeroli was redshirted in 2024 after participating in just one game at Nebraska. Before joining the Cornhuskers, Brent Browner coached him at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, one of the nation’s top prep programs. As a senior, Ruggeroli played a key role in leading the Gaels to an undefeated season, a state championship, and a No. 1 national ranking. It looks like Kenny Dillingham is on a serious mission to make a significant impact next season.

A bright future ahead for Kenny Dillingham’s ASU

Now, after all the chaos, Kenny Dillingham’s out here turning things around in Arizona State. Things were not as simple as they seem now; it was Kenny who made everything smoother for the team. How?

From dealing with the NCAA mess and a rough 3-9 season to now leading ASU to the playoffs with an 11-3 record, he’s straight-up flipping the narrative. Plus, his grind on the recruiting trail is paying off big time, and it’s clear he’s got this team on the rise. Looks like Dillingham’s got ASU’ back in the conversation, and it’s only up from here.

Talking about Kenny Dillingham’s big moves on recruitment, the hits keep coming for him and Arizona State. For starters, Coppell (Texas) star wide receiver Harry Hassmann committed to the Sun Devils back in November, adding to their growing talent pool. Hassmann also had offers from UAB, Army, Navy, and others, but he chose to join the ASU squad. Looks like someone is a fan of Kenny’s work.

Plus, his record speaks to his excellence on the field with a stellar senior season under his belt with 1,209 yards and 16 touchdowns in 11 games—he’s set to bring some serious firepower to Tempe at Arizona State.

ASU just snagged 21 recruits from the 2025 class and also ranked No. 54 on 247Sports. Well, there’s no doubt that they’re bringing in some serious talent. Besides Harry Hassmann, they also snagged La Cueva’s 4-star quarterback, Cameron Dyer. This guy is a stud—Gatorade Player of the Year, with 29 passing touchdowns, 26 rushing touchdowns, and a state championship. These guys are definitely ready to make noise in Tempe. Now with that rooster, the Sun Devils have a bright future, and their ascent will be electrifying to watch!
