The Arizona State Sun Devils might be preparing for the College Football Playoff, but that doesn’t mean Kenny Dillingham isn’t also scouring the transfer portal for talent.
And on Saturday, Arizona State nabbed one of the better running backs in the portal in Army’s Kanye Udoh.
Udoh will have two years of eligibility remaining. His 2024 season was a monster one for the Knights, finishing with 1,117 rushing yards on 179 carries with 10 touchdowns.
Udoh is now the top transfer portal recruit for Arizona State, per 247Sports. The Sun Devils have been quiet in the portal thus far, but expect that to pick up after the season officially ends.
Udoh will likely be tasked with helping replace star running back Cam Skattebo, who is wrapping up his senior season with the Sun Devils.

The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, December 9, 2024, and will remain open until Saturday, December 28, with an exception for players on teams who play bowl games after the window closes. According to NCAA data, 2,273 FBS football players entered the transfer portal in 2023-24 school year, with 1,558 (68.5%) undergraduates and 715 (31.5%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 57% reported that they enrolled in another school, 8% withdrew their names from the portal, and 35% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
