    Jun 13 2025

    In this debut edition of our recurring segment "Most Likely," we dive deep into bold predictions and hot debates across all Sun Devil athletics heading into the 2025 season. We kick things off with a football focus — debating whether Jordyn Tyson could realistically contend for the Biletnikoff Award and if Sam Leavitt has what it takes to enter the Heisman conversation. From there, we look at the big picture for Kenny Dillingham's second full season: is it more likely that he hits 9+ wins or lands a 5-star recruit that changes the program's trajectory? Then we shift to hoops and hockey, asking which team is likelier to punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament — ASU Men's Basketball or ASU Hockey. We discuss returning talent, coaching momentum, and what it'll take to dance in March. Throughout the episode, we challenge each other, bring stats and fan energy, and set the stage for what could be a breakthrough year across multiple ASU programs.
