Marquis Gillis Could Be ASU's RB Game-Changer | Arizona State Sun Devils Football News

Arizona State’s football team is poised for a breakout season with a loaded running back corps, led by standout transfer Marquis Gillis — a towering, powerful FCS transfer who’s already drawing comparisons to a Sun Devils legend. With six new backs ready to compete, Gillis and Kyson Brown are expected to carry the load as ASU looks to rebound after last year’s stumble. ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg has Gillis pegged as a potential breakout star, highlighting his 816 yards after contact and versatility in pass protection. The season opens Sept. 5 against Morgan State, with Texas A&M next — prime chances for Gillis to make an early statement and prove he’s the key to ASU’s turnaround.
