Randall, Benjamin, and White have all gone on to have varying degrees of success at the NFL level. The number three jersey will be worn by RB Raleek Brown and EDGE Albert Smith during the 2025 season.

Arizona State DL Zac Swanson spoke earlier this offseason on his experience with the Sun Devil coaching staff and the incredible culture that has been built by Kenny Dillingham in recent seasons, which very well could raise intrigue amongst the Sun Devil faithful with just over seven weeks from the start of the new year.
