Arizona State picked up its first addition in the transfer portal in Kentucky quarterback Cutter Boley, likely the Sun Devils’ starter for 2026, less than 48 hours after it officially opened.
He committed after the first day of what was expected to be a two-day visit, bringing high upside as a consensus four-star prospect with a 6-foot-5, 220-pound frame. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
The Sun Devils proceeded to load up the offense around Boley, adding two of the top five wideouts in the portal — No. 2 Omarion Miller (Colorado) and No. 4 Reed Harris (Boston College) — along with Raiden Vines-Bright (Washington), who played meaningful snaps as a true freshman.
ASU also added two running backs who were highly productive at the FCS level in Marquis Gillis (Delaware State) and David Avit (Villanova) to help replace Raleek Brown and Kanye Udoh, who chose to transfer out.
Thursday, the final day of the first week, saw seven more NCAA additions plus a JUCO defensive lineman. The day’s additions include another quarterback in Chandler prep product Mikey Keene (Fresno State), Kansas safety Lyrik Rawls and Georgia Tech center Tana Alo-Tupuolu.
Special teams got some attention on Thursday as well with long snapper Grayson Curtis (New Mexico State) and kicker Carson Smith (Austin Peay), who is reuniting with special teams coordinator Jack Nudo after working with him in 2022 (East Carolina) and 2024 (Austin Peay). That was after punter Nick McLarty (Ohio State) was added on Wednesday.
Brown landed at Texas after a courtship process that also included Indiana and Alabama. He had previously declared for the 2026 NFL Draft but is leaving his options open to play for a new college football program next season.
Brown and quarterback Sam Leavitt are the most notable portal departures for ASU. Leavitt has visited three SEC campuses but is yet to find a home after the Demond Williams Jr. saga appeared to take LSU off the board while Leavitt was visiting Baton Rouge.
The transfer portal has changed, not only in its activity due to NIL but also in its timing. The NCAA moved the transfer portal from December to January, and it is only open from Jan. 2-16 in a single window.
Dillingham’s program won eight games in the regular season after reaching the Big 12 title game in 2024. The Sun Devils went into their Territorial Cup matchup with Arizona with a remote chance to win the conference again, but a loss to the Wildcats quashed that possibility. A depleted ASU squad then fell to Duke in the Sun Bowl, 42-39.
The modern-day transfer portal brings on annual questions about what the roster will look like from one year to the next, and the biggest for ASU is what will happen at quarterback. How effectively Boley and Keene are able to answer that question remains to be seen.
Here is a running tracker of new Sun Devils arriving via the transfer portal, as well as those entering from Tempe:
