It all starts up front, and with the move to the Big 12, the trench play will be paramount for Arizona State. Thankfully for the Devils, they have Leif Fautanu anchoring the offensive line. Coming over last year from UNLV, the center held together the injury-ravaged line through significant adversity to put together a solid season. Heading into the 2024 season, Leif has elevated his game and standing as a team leader, and is poised to help ASU make a strong debut in their new conference.

On this episode, Leif and I discuss the lessons from adversity, the makeup of the 2024 line, his football journey, his evolution as a leader, life on the islands, and more.
