The road to a title starts in the trenches, and the Sun Devils are looking to a Champ to lock down the right side of the offensive line. Coming in two years ago as a highly-regarded—yet undersized—offensive tackle, Champ Westbrooks put in the hard work to bulk up, and he earned his first-career start in last season's Sun Bowl. Now with two seasons of experience and his 6-foot-5 frame coming in over 300 pounds, he's aiming to win a starting tackle job along the Sun Devils' offensive line. On this episode, Champ and I discuss his football journey, the early Snoop League days and his time on defense, how he's grown over his years in Tempe, why the D-line may need a Champ package, the best accents on the team, and more.

It's a busy time for Sun Devil sports. Molly Miller's Sun Devils continue to make a push towards the NCAA Tournament, Arizona State's beach volleyball and women's tennis teams are climbing in the polls, the softball team's bats are on fire, and several ASU players are climbing up NFL Draft boards after strong Combines. Plus, the baseball team is looking to regroup after a tough road trip to Texas.

Don't look now, but ASU has another emerging volleyball powerhouse. While JJ Van Niel has led the indoor team to back-to-back Big 12 championships, Kristen Glattfelder has the beach volleyball squad off to a 6-0 start and into the nation's top 10, one year after setting the program's single-season wins record. With a talented roster, the Devils are looking to make more history this season.

As we know, life can, and does, take many turns. Some are joyous, like becoming a father. Others are devastating, like suffering a season-ending injury. Arizona State linebacker Zyrus Fiaseu has experienced both recently, with each having a profound impact.
