Just a few short seasons ago, the ASU defensive line was...to put it charitably, a question mark. But under the tutelage of position coach Robert Rodriguez, it's developed into a team strength and one of the best groups in the Pac-12. And, in a win for ASU's Pro Model, defensive tackle DJ Davidson was drafted by the New York Giants.
Heading into the 2022 season, Rodriguez has another deep and
talented group of players, but is also dealing with some
uncertainty, as star tackle Jermayne Lole is the the transfer
portal. He could be back, or he may leave, but Rodriguez's track
record suggests that the Sun Devil DL should again be stout and
disruptive.
On this episode, we discuss his group of linemen, how NIL and the
portal have changed coaching, recruiting, how he's evolved as a
coach, and much more.
