Speak of the Devils

As we know, life can, and does, take many turns. Some are joyous, like becoming a father. Others are devastating, like suffering a season-ending injury. Arizona State linebacker Zyrus Fiaseu has experienced both recently, with each having a profound impact. After a successful petition to get an extra year of eligibility following last year's injury, he's aiming to end his college career on an impactful note.

On this episode we discuss his journey back from injury, fatherhood, the Werewolf mentality, the impact of the Poly Pipeline on the Sun Devil program, how he keeps his hair flow going strong, and more.

One of the major storylines of the 2025 Sun Devil season was injuries. That, in turn, gave way to opportunities. When star safety and team leader Xavion Alford was lost due to injury, there was a significant void left in the secondary. But newcomer Adrian "Boogie" Wilson stepped in, stepped up, and helped ASU to a successful season. He's now poised to be a key and veteran presence on the revamped Sun Devil defense.

On this episode, we discuss how he took advantage of the opportunity, the origins of his nickname, the new-look secondary, and much more.

College is fun! So much so, we've seen some pro basketball players try to find a way back to playing in college. In that spirit, we conduct a fun Back-to-School Draft, in which we select competing teams of five that are comprised of all-time Sun Devil greats that we wish could come back and don the maroon-and-gold one more time. Make sure to tell us which team you think is best, and which ASU legends would make YOUR TEAM.

The tight end position is alive and well within the Arizona State offense. It was largely MIA in the several years prior to Kenny Dillingham's arrival, but the position has now had a player with at least 30 catches in each of Kenny's three seasons in Tempe. And beyond the pass catching, the offense often features two, three, or more tight-end formations. Even though All-Big-12 honoree Chamon Metayer is off to the NFL, the position is primed to remain a strength. A big reason is rising sophomore A.J. Ia. A four-star signee out of California, the 6-foot-6, 260-pounder brings rare skills and a lauded work ethic to tight end coach Jason Mohns' room. With a year of experience under his belt, he could be a breakout star in 2026.

On this episode, we discuss his football journey, the origin of his work ethic, the 2026 tight ends, the impact of the Poly Pipeline, his growing group of bowlers on the team, and more.

This week brings us both Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day. Such is the duality of Sun Devil fandom, so we unveil our Horrors and Hearts list of the ASU football games that we loved...and those that remain cursed.

Play ball! Coming off a postseason appearance, Sun Devil baseball is eyeing a deeper run this spring. We take an in-depth preview of the 2026 season with DevilsDigest.com reporter George Lund (16:15).

Do you believe in ghosts? Arizona State fans do. Myles "Ghost" Rowser haunted the secondary for the Sun Devils the last two seasons, scaring receivers with frighteningly fierce hits. Now, he's aiming to bring that reign of terror to the NFL. On this episode, Ghost and I discuss his ASU career, his rising stock after a good showing at the Shrine Bowl, his NFL Draft prep, and more.
