The Arizona State Sun Devils are among the three finalists to land elite scoring guard Tyon Grant-Foster out of the transfer portal, according to reporting from Isaac Trotter and Travis Branham of 247Sports.

Trotter reported the Grand Canyon guard is choosing between Gonzaga, Washington, and Arizona State, with the Zags holding a "slight edge" over the other two.

The 6'7 wing led the 'Lopes to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, including a win as a 12-seed over 5-seed Saint Mary's in Spokane in 2024 - the same year he won WAC Player of the Year after averaging 20.1 points per game.

Grant-Foster is the No. 10 ranked available transfer according to 247Sports. After starting his career at Indiana Hills Community College, Grant-Foster appeared in 22 games with Kansas in 2020-21 before transferring to DePaul - where he appeared in just one game before a scary medical issue with his heart required surgery, costing him the rest of 2021-22 and all of 2022-23.

The Sun Devils would love to keep Grant-Foster in state, and he would join an electric transfer portal class for coach Bobby Hurley that includes CSUN wing Marcus Adams Jr, Pepperdine guard Moe Odum , Oakland forward Allen David Mukeba, and San Diego big man Santiago Trouet.

Arizona State also had a ton of departures, including superstar freshmen Jayden Quaintance and Joson Sanon who transferred to Kentucky and Saint John's, respectively, and getting a former 20 point per game scorer would certainly ease the sting and give coach Hurley some momentum after a disappointing finish in the Big 12 last season.
