WR Jaelen Strong
Heading into next season, there is certainly a large amount of top quality teams that return the jest of their players but lose the all-important man behind center. Arizona State is not exempt from this list. The rest of the depth chart is full of returning upper classmen. This past season ASU's senior class possessed 11 members - a tally that ranks tied for the second fewest total among all Division I institutions. Yet the Sun Devils were still just one game short of winning the Pac 12 South, losing to Arizona in the season finale. Receiver Jaelen Strong is poised for an All-American campaign. Many expect that Jaelen Strong could be a first-round pick if he decides to declare for the NFL Draft. He's got a rare combination of size and speed. He just needs to find a someone new to throw him the football. Kelly's replacement Bercovici might not have the same scrambling ability, but he's shown he possess a stronger arm and has proved he can deliver on a big stage. The Sun Devils are very close to being a Top Ten caliber program next fall.
