![]() ![]() He missed a year in junior college sitting out (with a knee injury), so he has three years with us. He knows the offense, he just has to play football. ![]() Aside from the hamstring issue, what did he show you? Raymond Epps, a junior-college transfer, enrolled early so he could practice in the spring. View Gallery: ASU football spring practice - 2015 Hopefully, he'll make an impact like (former All-Pac-12 selection) Chris (Coyle) did when he was here with us that first year." He understands the big picture a whole lot better. He did a really good job for us last year, but another year just helps cut down on thinking and he can just go play. "He's playing a whole lot more confident. Where has Kohl showed the most improvement? It was unfortunate that Grant Martinez was hurt (foot) so he couldn't really do anything and Raymond Epps had a hamstring (issue), so it was sort of mish-mash, but they all got a good lay of the land of how we do things, how we work, so we got that down." ![]() "I was expecting Kody to have a good spring, but I wasn't expecting him to make the leaps and bounds that he did. He got comfortable with it and just became an added playmaker in this offense." He did a great job of building his repertoire with routes, understanding how to run them, just understanding the ins and outs of the position. He's done a great job in the weight room and he had as good a spring as anybody. 1, I wanted Kody Kohl to improve in the passing game. What'd you want to accomplish this spring? Depending on the set, ASU may start two tight ends.Ĭhallenging: Raymond Epps, sophomore Grant Martinez, sophomore Jay Jay Wilson, freshman Tommy Hudson, freshman Dan Vear, junior. Projected starter (with last season's stats): Kody Kohl, junior (16 catches, 167 yards, 4 touchdowns). The Sun Devils also signed three tight ends who could contribute right away. ![]() Bright spots: Junior Kody Kohl started every game and improved as the season progressed. In addition to catching 13 passes for 125 yards, he also rushed the passer and starred on special teams. Nelson is a significant loss, simply because he did everything. The Sun Devils lost De'Marieya Nelson (undrafted free agent with the Cleveland Browns) and Brendan Landman (transferred) from last season's team. The group contributed just 29 receptions for 292 yards, down from 40 and 596 in 2013. State of the position: ASU's tight end production took a step back last season. Over the next few weeks, I'll talk to Arizona State's position coaches about what they learned from spring football practice. ![]()
