Kenny Dillingham and the Arizona State Sun Devils had to wait until the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft to hear running back Cam Skattebo hear his name called by the New York Giants.
It sounds like they might not have to wait quite as long to get a player taken off the board in the 2026 NFL draft.
Going into the new college football season, the Sun Devils have one of the most dynamic quarterback-wide receiver duos in the nation, with Sam Leavitt and Jordon Tyson near the top of just about any position ranking you care to look at this offseason.
According to a new 2026 mock draft from Pro Football Focus, both of said players could end up hearing their name called in the first round.

Leavitt and Tyson may not be just first-round picks, though. PFF currently has both players going inside the top 10 of the draft.
Leavitt is the first off the board for PFF at No. 8, going to the Indianapolis Colts to potentially take over as their franchise QB.
"Leavitt had a brilliant first season as Arizona State’s starter and is poised to become the engine of the Sun Devils’ offense after Cam Skattebo’s departure to the NFL," PFF wrote. "Leavitt’s 88.9 PFF overall grade ranked ninth among qualified quarterbacks last season, while his 1.1% turnover-worthy play rate tied for third. If he further develops his chemistry with top receiver Jordyn Tyson, he could have a massive season."
It wouldn't be long before his running mate goes off the board in the draft, per PFF, with the Cleveland Browns trading up to take him with the No. 10 pick.
"Similar to Tetairoa McMillan at rival Arizona the year before, Jordyn Tyson finished 2024 as one of the hottest receivers in college football," PFF wrote. "From Week 7 to the end of the regular season, Tyson led the Power Four in receptions, receiving yards and PFF receiving grade."
With a potential first-round QB and a first-round WR, things are looking pretty great for Dillingham and the Sun Devils going into 2025. Of course, they will have to find a way to replace the production from Skattebo out of the backfield, but the pieces for another special offensive season are there in Tempe.
