ASU Special Teams Revival | Arizona State Sun Devils Football News

Arizona State is making major moves to overhaul its special teams, aiming to turn around a historically weak unit that ranked dead last in punting last season. With new coordinator Jack Nudo and NFL veteran Michael Scifres on board, the Sun Devils are seeing tangible progress — punts are flying farther with better hang time. Two punters, Kanyon Floyd (recovering from injury) and newcomer Nick McLarty, are battling for the starting job. On kickoffs, sixth-year senior Carson Smith is stepping into the clutch kicker role after losing Jesus Gomez. Beyond special teams, key coaching changes include Demetrice Martin now coaching corners, David Gibbs taking over safeties, and Bryan Carrington promoted to assistant head coach and defensive passing game coordinator — giving the team a stronger, more focused leadership structure across the board.
