Arizona State football is officially less than seven weeks away.

The 2025 season is set to begin 48 days from now - the first game is set for Saturday, August 30 against in-state foe Northern Arizona in a game that is set to begin at 7 P.M. local time.

In honor of the 48 day mark until the season begins, Arizona State on SI takes a look at every player that has worn the number 48 jersey during their time with the program.

Czeslow Schmidt (50)

Don Puente (52)

Ed Cano (53)

Karl Grassl (54)

Ron Jackson (58)

John Moreland (78-81)

Darin Tupper (82-86)

Jeff Mahlstede (87-88)

Lenny McGill (89)

Justin Dragoo (90-93, 95)

Jason Moore (96)

Cody Price (97-98)

Terrell Suggs (00-01-02)

Chad Lindsey (06-07)

Brandon Magee (08-09)

Carl Bradford (10)

Alex Bykovskiy (12)

Frank Ogas (16-17)

Vincenzo Granatelli (20)

Suggs is potentially the best pound-for-pound player in the history of Sun Devil football - and could soon be in the NFL Hall of Fame.

Magee and Bradford were also key figures for the program during the Dennis Erickson and Todd Graham days - although Bradford only wore the number for a singular 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.

"Mainly, I appreciate this staff so much. They do so much for us, and the main thing is, like, they really create a relationship with their players. Like, a lot of times, programs around the country will just kind of treat the players like they're robots, like they're just football players."

"And it's hard to do that. It's hard to be treated like that and not fall out of love with the game. When the coaches really care for you and want the best for you, and in their eyes, you're not just a football player, it really helps improve your mental a lot, and you realize this is a good spot. Like, football's really actually fun."
