Arizona State lands four-star WR over Florida, Missouri and Nebraska

Head coach Kenny Dillingham had a wonderful season in his second campaign with the Arizona State Sun Devils. A year after going 3-9 in his inaugural season as head coach, he led ASU to an 11-3 record with a berth in the College Football Playoff.

Arizona State ultimately lost to Texas in the quarterfinal at the Peach Bowl, but it was one heck of a run for Dillingham and the Sun Devils.

Now they're looking to improve on that season and establish themselves as a power in the new-look Big 12 and that comes down to Dillingham and his staff's abilities on the recruiting trail and transfer portal.

As far as the former is concerned, ASU got a big win on Monday evening. Nalin Scott, a four-star wideout from Powder Springs, Georgia, committed to the Sun Devils.

Florida, Missouri and Nebraska were also in the running for Nalin's commitment, but ASU ultimately won out after the Georgia wide receiver took an official visit to Tempe this past weekend.

This is a big-time commitment for ASU. Scott is a four-star, ranked as the No. 49 wideout in the 2026 class. He's also the No. 39 recruit from the talent-laden state of Georgia.

Scott caught 29 passes for 541 yards and two touchdowns as a junior, which aren't eye-popping numbers. What he has that ASU likely covets, though, is speed. He's a track and field star as well, and owns a 100-meter sprint time of 11.50 that he ran as a freshman. According to Chris Karpman at 247sports, he ran a 10.98 100-meter while at ASU's last spring practice of the offseason.

Scott is the 11th commitment to Dillingham's 2026 class. With his addition, the Sun Devils boast the No. 13 recruiting class in the country.
