Arizona State football has bolstered both sides of the ball in the transfer portal, most recently adding Alabama Crimson Tide receiver Jaren Hamilton on Monday, according to On3.com’s Hayes Fawcett.
As a freshman this past season, the Gainesville, Florida, native did not record any receptions. He was a four-star prospect in the class of 2024 and the 35th-ranked receiver, according to 247 Sports.
He joins a group of offensive transfers that includes Army running back Kanye Udoh, who will compete for the starting spot with Cam Skattebo turning pro.
The Sun Devils on Sunday also added Oregon defensive lineman My’Keil Gardner, Texas State offensive lineman Jimeto Obigbo and Nebraska offensive lineman Xander Ruggeroli.

ASU’s first transfer portal additions included wide receiver Noble Johnson and kicker Jesús Gómez. The program continued to bolster the offense for 2025 with wide receiver Jalen Moss.
A group of Sun Devils have entered their names in the portal.
A player whose days with the program are done is cornerback Laterrance Welch, who was dismissed after being accused of stealing a watch from a teammate.
Welch, a junior who transferred in from LSU, played nine games and recorded 19 tackles, two interceptions and nine passes defensed this season. He notably scored on a pick-six at the end of the first half against UCF at Mountain America Stadium.
He did not play in ASU’s Big 12 title game win over Iowa State.
Dillingham and his staff allowed players to enter the portal but remain with the program through its playoff run that ended in the Peach Bowl.
“We’ve met with most of our guys going in, our guys have the opportunity to stay on our football team,” Dillingham told reporters on Monday. “They’re like, ‘Well, we’ll go in at the end.’ I go, ‘No, that’s not fair to you to go in after our run is over. I want you to have the best opportunity to find a spot. You can go in right now, day one, we’ll help you find a spot and stay on our football team if you want to stay on our football team and let’s go on this ride together the rest of the way.’
“I didn’t want those guys to feel like they had to wait to go in because they wanted an opportunity to have a bigger role for a program … I think that would hurt their chances. So I made it very clear to the guys that you can stay on the team as long as you do what you’re supposed to do.”
Dillingham revealed there will be players who stay and some who do not. Tight end Markeston Douglas, for example, will ride this season out, Dillingham posted on X.
Here is who else is involved in the transfer portal from ASU’s program.
