Arizona State football is now officially 71 days out from the much-anticipated 2025 season kicking off against Northern Arizona on August 30.

The Sun Devils are entering year three of the Kenny Dillingham era with massive expectations surrounding the team - the eyes of the entire nation are focused on Tempe after a 2024 Big 12 championship season.

Sam Leavitt, Jordyn Tyson, Xavion Alford, and other stars garner the brunt of attention heading into the fresh 12-game slate - the offensive line unfortunately gets lost in the fray all too often.

So as a commemoration of the 71 day mark until the start of the season, we will take a look at every player to ever wear that jersey number for the program - all of which are obviously on the offensive line.

Every single player to wear number 71 for the Arizona State football program - and the years they played in Tempe per the official program site.

Kelly Pierson (53)

James Lundie (54)

George Flint (56)

Bill Zuhowski (57)

Ladd Mulleneaux (58-59)

Tom Pavolin (62)

John Folmer (63-65)

Herman Serginese (66-68)

Richard Gray (69-71)

Dave Orzell (72-75)

Glen Lanker (76)

Russ Symmes (78)

Dan Jones (79-82)

Steven Wiley (83)

Doug Larson (84-88)

Derek Zazueta (89)

Jeff Kysar (90-91)

Kirk Robertson (92)

Mike Hanson (93-94)

Marvel Smith (97-98-99)

Drew Hodgdon (00)

Grayling Love (02-03-04)

Saia Falahola (06-07)

Brice Schwab (10-12)

Steven Miller (16-17-18-19)

Austin Barry (21-22)

Steven Miller is the most prominent member of this group - at least in recent history.

The local Gilbert high school product was a starter with the program for much of the back-end of the 2010's decade and eventually returned to coach in Tempe as a graduate assistant in 2023.

As for the season at hand - Makua Pule is set to wear number 71 on this partiuclar team. Pule played in four games in the 2023 season as a reult of injuries after a successful career at local Highland high school.

The future is bright at Arizona State - much of that is due to the rapid rise of offensive line talent that must be acknowledged.
