Brown previously declared<\/a> for the 2026 NFL Draft but is leaving his options open to play for a new college football program next season.<\/p>\n The redshirt junior spent the past two seasons at ASU after a transfer from USC. After injuries limited him in 2024, Brown broke out in 2025 with 1,141 rushing yards (6.1 per carry) and six total touchdowns. He ranked 19th in the country in rushing yards but did not play in the Sun Bowl against Duke.<\/p>\n Brown joins quarterback Sam Leavitt<\/a> on the list of notable Sun Devil starters in the portal. Leavitt entered the portal with a \u201cdo not contact\u201d tag, according to On3\u2019s Pete Nakos<\/a>.<\/p>\n Leavitt has been tied to Kentucky<\/a> in what could be a 1-for-1 quarterback swap after Boley picked the Sun Devils.<\/p>\n The transfer portal has changed, not only in its activity due to NIL but also in its timing. The NCAA moved the transfer portal from December to January, and it is only open from Jan. 2-16 in a single window.<\/p>\n Dillingham\u2019s program won eight games in the regular season after reaching the Big 12 title game in 2024. The Sun Devils went into their Territorial Cup matchup with Arizona with a remote chance to win the conference again, but a loss to the Wildcats quashed that possibility. A depleted ASU squad then fell in the Sun Bowl to Duke, 42-39.<\/p>\n The modern-day transfer portal brings on annual questions about what the roster will look like from one year to the next, and the biggest for ASU is what will happen at quarterback. How effectively Boley is able to answer that question remains to be seen.<\/p>\n Here is a running tracker of new Sun Devils arriving via the transfer portal, as well as those entering from Tempe:<\/p>\n Arizona State transfer tracker: Incoming transfers<\/p>\n QB Cutter Boley (Kentucky)<\/a> \u2014 Jan. 3<\/p>\n WR Raiden Vines-Bright (Washington)<\/a> \u2014 Jan. 4<\/p>\n RB David Avit (Villanova)<\/a> \u2014 Jan. 4<\/p>\n DB Caleb Chester (Texas)<\/a> \u2014 Jan. 4<\/p>\n Outgoing transfers<\/p>\n LB Tate Romney<\/a><\/p>\n OL Joey Su\u2019a<\/a><\/p>\n OT Josh Atkins<\/a><\/p>\n CB Javan Robinson<\/a><\/p>\n TE Jayden Fortier<\/a><\/p>\n QB Sam Leavitt<\/a><\/p>\n TE Coleson Arends<\/a><\/p>\n WR\/PR Zechariah Sample<\/a><\/p>\n OL Sean Na\u2019a<\/a><\/p>\n CB Joseph McGinnis<\/a><\/p>\n P Matt McKenzie\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n WR Akim Lanieux<\/a><\/p>\n DB Chris Johnson II<\/a><\/p>\n DB Tommy Romano<\/a><\/p>\n DB Nikko Klemm<\/a><\/p>\n DB Jack Bal<\/a><\/p>\n
