Arizona State Sun Devils transfer portal tracker

The transfer portal officially opened up on Monday, December 9th. The Sun Devils are waiting to see who they'll be facing in the Peach Bowl between Texas and Clemson, which gives head coach Kenny Dillingham and his staff time to focus on the portal.

As of right now, there are 11 Sun Devils who have entered the portal. That doesn't necessarily mean they're definitely leaving, but it's probably likely that they will. We'll be updating this tracker regularly as news comes in on any outgoing and incoming transfers, so be sure to check back here throughout the coming weeks.

Incoming Transfers

There is no news to share yet, but be sure to check back as updates come rolling in.

Outgoing Transfers

DT Tristan Monday

Tristan Monday's intent to enter the transfer portal was announced back in October, and the defensive tackle hasn't been with the team since. Monday, an Arizona native, transferred back home from Wisconsin in Dillingham's first transfer class as head coach. He struggled to see the field behind more established players like CJ Fite, Jacob Rich Kongaika, and Jeff Clark.

DT Kyran Bourda

Kyran Bourda just finished up his redshirt freshman season at Arizona State, working exclusively on the scout team in practices, and was unlikely to be in the mix for major playing time next year.

LB K'Vion Thunderbird

A redshirt freshman, K'Vion Thunderbird committed to Arizona State in Dillingham's first recruiting class. The Chicago, Ilinois native was viewed as having great upside, but was unlikely to crack the lineup in a meaningful way next year with the anticipated return of starters Keyshaun Elliott, Zyrus Fiaseu, and Jordan Crook. Still, Thunderbird was viewed as a piece of the future on defense, and his absence will need filling.

DE J'Mond Tapp

J'Mond Tapp transferred from Texas last year due to not seeing the field enough for the Longhorns, but he had the same problem in Tempe. The trio of Clayton Smith, Prince Dorbah, and Justin Wodtly all elevated their game in major ways. With all three expected back next year, Tapp simply didn't see a path to the field.

CB Laterrance Welch

Laterrance Welch entered the transfer portal after being dismissed from the team over theft charges. You can read the full story here.

CB Keontez Bradley

Another part of Dillingham's first recruiting class, Keontez Bradley committed out oh Mansfield, Ohio. Coming into this year, Bradley was competing for a top depth spot but ultimately lost out on playing time. Over the course of the season, he was passed on the depth chart by both Rodney Bimage and Plas Johnson, which makes his decision to transfer unsurprising.

WR Korbin Hendrix

One of many Texas high school players that Arizona State has reeled in under Dillingham, Korbin Hendrix was a track star whose elite speed made him a high upside receiver prospect. Hendrix hardly saw the field behind a handful of seniors and the ascendant Jordyn Tyson, and Dillingham's stated priority of finding more receivers in the portal this year likely led to Hendrix seeing the writing on the wall.

WR Kaleb Black

Kaleb Black is in the same boat. The Texas native was also a track star who the Sun Devils were high on developing. During spring practices this past year, though, Black struggled quite a bit, and had several drops that persisted throughout. While Black had not formally announced anything until recently, his departure had been assumed for several months now.

S Kamari Wilson

Kamari Wilson may arguably be the biggest transfer portal loss so far. A 4-star prospect out of Florida's prestigious IMG Academy, Wilson originally committed to the Gators before transferring to Arizona State this year. He was ultimately buried on the depth chart by Shamari Simmons, Xavion Alford, and Myles Rowser. Simmons is out of eligibility, but Alford and Rowser have become key cogs on Brian Ward's defense. Still, Wilson would have had a role in this scheme, as Ward likes to use three safeties with regularity, and Wilson's talent is too much to keep off the field.

TE Markeston Douglas

Markeston Douglas was one of a handful of tight end transfers the Sun Devils welcomed in this year, but the massive blocking tight end hardly saw the field as Chamon Metayer blossomed into a top receiving threat. Behind Metayer, Arizona State has Cameron Harpole, Coleson Arends, and true freshmen James Giggey and Jayden Fortier. They'll also welcome 4-star prospect AJ Ia in the spring.

WR Jamaal Young

Walk-on receiver Jamaal Young entered the transfer portal after his redshirt freshman season. The scout team player likely was not going to be a part of the picture moving forward on offense.
