Sitdown Series - Xavion Alford (2025)

2025 was my 15th season covering Arizona State football. Over that span, there are few—if any—players that I've covered more impactful, on and off the field, than Xavion Alford. Despite being ruled ineligible by the NCAA in 2023 after his transfer, he was a key part in establishing ASU's culture. He then took the field last year and was an All-Big 12 first team performer. Although an injury kept him sidelined for most of this past year, he still contributed in an off field role and recently declared for the NFL Draft. On this episode, we discuss his decision, his career at ASU, how his time as a Sun Devil shaped him, and more.  

As the Sun Devils continue to prepare for the Sun Bowl, the news cycles forges on. We tackle the latest from ASU's transfer portal announcements and then discuss what merit—if any—the Michigan coaching rumors surrounding Kenny Dillingham hold.

The Sun Devils are El Paso bound. We breakdown the news of ASU's Sun Bowl matchup against Duke, get the latest from the recruiting trail and transfer portal, and talk with Sun Devil defensive tackle Jacob Kongaika (1:01:41), wide receiver Malik McClain (1:05:54), and new cornerback signee Jalen Williams (25:51).

There is no offseason, folks. Joined by guest co-host Ralph Amsden, we discuss ASU's disappointing loss to Arizona and its implications before diving into National Signing Day. We break down the Sun Devils' 2026 class so far, including the crown jewels and diamonds-in-the-rough. We also get insight from DevilsDigest.com publisher Hod Rabino (1:52:02), and we talk to a pair of new Sun Devils: Quarterback Jake Fette (15:30) and defensive end Kirtland Vakalahi (46:08). Brad and Joe will have an update on Friday when the early signing period closes. [NOTE: Since recording, WR Cooper Reid flipped his commitment to TCU]

Another season, another dominating run by Sun Devil volleyball. As the ladies enter a key late-season battle against rival Arizona, they are ranked in the top 10 in the country and in prime position to repeat as Big 12 champions. A major reason for the success is the impact of Noemie Glover. A transfer from Oregon, she's already racked up multiple Big 12 Player of the Week awards and was recently named as a semifinalist for the AVCA National Player of the Year. On this episode, we discuss growing up in an athletic family, making the move from basketball to volleyball, the keys to ASU's success, and more.
