2025 was my 15th season covering Arizona State football. Over that span, there are few—if any—players that I've covered more impactful, on and off the field, than Xavion Alford.

Despite being ruled ineligible by the NCAA in 2023 after his transfer, he was a key part in establishing ASU's culture. He then took the field last year and was an All-Big 12 first team performer. Although an injury kept him sidelined for most of this past year, he still contributed in an off field role and recently declared for the NFL Draft.

On this episode, we discuss his decision, his career at ASU, how his time as a Sun Devil shaped him, and more.
