Arizona State Offers 4-Star 2027 Lineman

Ayangbile is one of the top defensive linemen in the 2027 cycle and was pursued by several programs throughout his sophomore and junior seasons at Langham Creek. However, his recruitment has recently exploded, and he’s become one of the fastest-rising prospects in the country. 

Since Jan. 20, Ayangbile has picked up offers from 14 new programs: Stanford, Nebraska, Miami, UNLV, Texas, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Kentucky, UCLA, Ohio State, North Texas, Oklahoma State, and now Arizona State. 

Despite all the new programs entering the race for Ayangbile, his recruitment remains wide open. If Arizona State can make a strong early impression on the four-star defensive lineman, the Sun Devils should be able to position themselves as a contender in his recruitment. 

Heading into the 2027 cycle, defensive lineman was one of Arizona State’s top needs, and Ayanbile would be a massive addition to the Sun Devils’ 2027 class. Rivals’ industry rankings list him as the No. 235 overall player in the country, the No. 27 defensive lineman, and the No. 34 prospect from Texas. 

While it won’t be easy to pull Ayanbile out of his home state, Dillingham has established a strong pipeline in Texas throughout his tenure as Arizona State’s head coach. In the 2026 cycle alone, seven of the Sun Devils’ 19 signees were from the state. 

With so many programs targeting Ayanbile, Arizona State will face heavy competition for the young defensive lineman. Still, he hasn’t set a commitment date, and there’s no timeline for his decision. If Dillingham and company continue making progress with him in the coming months, they should be able to compete for one of the nation’s top defensive linemen.
