As the season draws closer, the anticipation only grows - in no small part due to the culture that coach Dillingham has cultivated.

Reserve defensive lineman Zac Swanson spoke in glowing fashion on how the Arizona State culture has helped him rebuild a love for football in a podcast appearance earlier in the offseason.

"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."
