Senior Saia Falahola is one of the key players on the Arizona State defensive line. Following a recent practice, Falahola spoke with ASUDevils.com’s Lisa Charisse Blanco about his role at defensive tackle and senior leader.

Brock Haman kicked off his official visit schedule last weekend when he and Scottsdale (Ariz.) Saguaro teammate Cyrus Hobbi went to Oregon State. Haman got a good feel not only for the campus but also coach Mike Riley, who made a big impression on the three-star outside linebacker.

Viliami Moala wants to focus on his senior season but his recruitment is heating up more than ever and so the 6-foot-2, 326-pound defensive tackle from Sacramento (Calif.) Grant has some decisions to make. No one is going to rush him though.

A number of schools are pursuing four-star forward Cannen Cunningham, and three of those schools have nailed down visitation dates.

Cal and Washington are still the two favorites for James Sample but he said Oregon is also making a strong impression on him and the four-star safety from Sacramento (Calif.) Grant is expected to visit with the Ducks this weekend.

After a year of sitting on the sidelines watching, followed by a heated quarterback battle that lasted the better part of six months, Steven Threet breathed a sigh of relief this week.

Lauderdale Lakes (Fla.) Boyd Anderson safety Mike Brown has made the offseason transition from linebacker look easy. His dominating performance–he was in on 11 tackles–last weekend earned him the highest grade from Rivals analyst Brian Perroni.

Mercy Maston, a 5-foot-11, 185 pound defensive back at Bakersfield High School in Bakersfield, Calif., has Arizona State in his top three due in part to the job Trent Bray has done in the recruitment.

There wasn’t much suspense in the last week as to which quarterback Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson would select as his opening game starter.
