Arizona State Offers Pair of Quarterback Prospects

While it's still very early in Heffner and Washington's processes, they have already emerged as among the top quarterback recruits in the country. They would be welcome additions to Arizona State's 2028 and 2029 classes, respectively. Here's a closer look at both signal-callers and where the Sun Devils currently stand in their recruitments. 

More on Thomas Heffner

Heffner is a 6’1”, 195-pound quarterback prospect whose recruitment has steadily gained traction over the past few months. Although he doesn’t hold a star rating from 247Sports or Rivals, he’s coming off a strong year at Melrose, where, according to his X, he threw for 2,048 yards and 32 touchdowns and added 469 yards and 8 scores on the ground. 

Arizona State is the first Power Four school to offer Heffner. Although the Sun Devils’ offer comes early in the young quarterback’s process, it should allow Dillingham and Company to build an early lead in his recruitment before other programs get involved. 

More on Marcus Washington

Washington is a 6’3”, 190-pound quarterback prospect who has already established himself as one of the top recruits in the 2029 class. Although he also doesn’t hold a star rating from 247Sports or Rivals, he had a terrific start to his high school career at Cajon in 2025, where, according to his X, he threw for 2,235 yards and 22 touchdowns while rushing for 691 yards and nine scores.  

Arizona State is the fourth Division I program to extend an offer to Washington, joining Arizona, Hawaii, and Syracuse. Although it’s still early in his recruitment, he’s expected to be among the top quarterbacks in the 2029 cycle, so offering him at this stage of his process should help the Sun Devils’ chances of landing him down the line.
