Arizona State has 7 running backs. Who will emerge vs Morgan State?
Arizona State has seven running backs, and all look like they have the potential to excel in the 2026 season.
The Arizona State Sun Devils are set to face off against Morgan State in their season opener, with a unique twist in their backfield. Coach Shaun Aguano is utilizing the depth at the running back position, with seven players expected to share the workload. Aguano envisions two backs reaching the 1,000-yard mark, a formidable goal given the team's roster.
Kyson Brown, a veteran and one of the program's longest-tenured players, will be the leader in the room. The junior Jason Brown, who had a notable performance in the Sun Bowl last season, adds another layer of experience. The Sun Devils also bring in new talent, including transfers Marquis Gillis and David Avit, as well as true freshman Cardae Mack.
The team's success hinges on the ability of these seven players to work together and minimize mistakes. Kyson Brown's experience as a blocker and the younger players' energy and humor create a balanced unit. As the season begins, fans will get a glimpse into which backs will step up and define the Sun Devils' running game.
