Alden Darby - DB - Sun Devils

Arizona State senior S Alden Darby has impressed Scouts Inc.'s Kevin Weidl during film study.

Weidl was focusing on defensive tackle Will Sutton, but Darby popped in coverage after climbing the ladder and extending for an interception. He saw action in all 13 games last season, recording 80 tackles, 5.5 of which ended for a loss including two sacks.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Scouts Inc.'s Kevin Weidl called Arizona State senior DT Will Sutton "an animal" on the interior.

"I could watch Will Sutton all day long," Weidl tweeted. He quickly added the defensive tackle's disruption as an interior pass rusher will be very appealing. "Sutton lacks ideal size/anchor. But he plays (with) excellent pad level/leverage and flashes explosive upper body power." We are huge fans of Sutton's game as well.

Junior Onyeali - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State is reviewing a potentially criminal incident involving senior DE Junior Onyeali.

The incident occurred last month and reportedly involves Onyeali throwing a 2-by-4 into the windshield of a woman’s car. The car belonged to the defensive end's girlfriend. No one was injured in the incident and no charges have been filed yet, and the school would only say they are in the process of compiling information.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State senior DT Will Sutton's snaps per pressure rate was 6.6 last season, which would have ranked as the best number of any pass rusher in the 2013 class.

Per The Sideline View's Greg Peshek, "that’s roughly equal to how often noted pass rushers Jarvis Jones and Alex Okafor got to the quarterback. That type of SPP would have made Sutton the best pass rusher of the entire draft, despite playing at defensive tackle." We are big fans of Sutton's game, but some will question his NFL projection due to his less than 300 pound frame.

Brandon Magee - LB - Sun Devils

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler gave Arizona State LB Brandon Magee a sixth- to seventh-round grade.

"Magee is a tough NFL evaluation," Brugler tweeted. "Lots to like, lots that doesn't translate." He noted that the evaluation rests on if Magee chooses football over baseball, since he has been drafted three times by MLB teams. "Low-end WLB starter is his ceiling...short and stocky, really short arms and not explosive."

Brandon Magee - LB - Sun Devils

Arizona State LB Brandon Magee was told he'd be working out for the Arizona Cardinals.

Magee met with 30 of 32 teams at the NFL Scouting Combine. Magee could also have a future in baseball, as he's signed a five-year deal with the Boston Red Sox. However, he says he's fully committed to playing football. "These scouts watch tape, and they know the game of football," Magee said. "Somebody will see it. Somebody will see me. All it takes is that one team to pick me up and fit me into their scheme. After that, anything can happen."

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State junior DT Will Sutton announced he is returning for the 2013 season.

The Pac-12 defensive player of the year will grace us with one more season. Sutton is an undersized interior rusher that wins with leverage and strength to shed. It will be tough to produce as much as he did in 2012, but Sutton should put forth another excellent year if he stays healthy.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State junior DT Will Sutton tallied 3.5 tackles for loss, including 2.5 sacks, Saturday against Navy.

Sutton was a beast all day, getting enough penetration upfield followed by hand use to shed. It is doubtful that the Pac-12 defensive player of the year declare based on his remarks in recent weeks, but we wouldn't be against seeing him in April's draft. His skills are reminiscent of a Geno Atkins-lite.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State head coach Todd Graham believes junior DT Will Sutton will return for his senior season.

"Depending on (the feedback he gets from the NFL), that will have a lot to do with it, but if you ask me, I think he'll come back," Graham said. The head coach added that if Sutton is "going to be a first-round pick, I'm going to wish him the best." The junior does want to graduate and believes "he can improve a lot." We love Sutton's powerful game, but some teams will knock him due to a lack of ideal measurables.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State will play Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on December 29.

In terms of NFL talent, the Sun Devils are the only side worth focusing on. The game is headlined by "undersized" junior defensive tackle Will Sutton, who we think is close to a first-round talent due to his ability to disengage and disrupt the backfield. Senior outside linebacker Brandon Magee is another intriguing athletic prospect, and running back Cameron Marshall is worth checking out.

Brandon Magee - LB - Sun Devils

SI's Tony Pauline believes Arizona State senior LB Brandon Magee has cemented himself in the middle rounds of April's Draft.

According to Pauline, Magee "combines instinct with intensity and the ability to play in several defensive systems at the next level." The senior tore his Achilles last season, so he will need to pass pre-draft medicals, but Magee is quite the athlete that offers range but lacks the ideal frame.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State junior DT Will Sutton recorded two tackles for loss against Arizona.

These numbers don't do Sutton justice, as the junior was disruptive all night. Many will get stuck up on Sutton's lack of ideal size and height, but he plays with great leverage, power, and foot quickness. If he declares, we would give Sutton a top-64 grade but he may not go that high.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State junior DT Will Sutton added another two tackles for loss, including a sack, Saturday against USC.

The sack was vintage Sutton, exploding off the football and splitting an inside gap to quickly get to Barkley before he was able to end his drop. The junior doesn't have prototypical NFL size, but we think Sutton has second-round ability.

Will Sutton - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State junior DT Will Sutton registered a sack and two pass breakups against Oregon State, his first game back after hyperextending his knee.

Sutton currently has 13 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks on the season, in juts eight games. Many will downgrade him due to the lack of traditional measurables, but Sutton is a force on the inside and may show even more dominance next year as a senior.

Davon Coleman - DL - Sun Devils

Arizona State junior DE Davon Coleman has stepped up to be of one the team's leading pass rushers in the last two weeks.

Defensive tackle Will Sutton and defensive end Junior Onyeali have both missed a large amount of time over the last two weeks. In that span, Coleman has softened the blow with his versatility. "He can start at any position, and he has these last couple of weeks," co-defensive coordinator Paul Randolph said. "To me it just shows what kind of talent he has and also how smart he is."
