Arizona State football transfer portal tracker: Who will stay or go?

It's that time of the year when players can start putting their names in the football transfer portal in the hope of finding a new school. Last year the Sun Devils had 38 or so new players from the portal, second most in the country behind Colorado.

Players lost to the transfer portal

DB Jordan Clark (Sr., 5-10, 185): One of the most veteran players and a respected team leader has one year of eligibility left. Clark recorded 50 tackles and nine breakups the past season. In five years, (including a redshirt in 2019) Clark tallied 139 tackles with three interceptions and 17 passes defended. Clark had 22 career starts. Committed to Notre Dame.

TE Jalin Conyers (Jr. 6-4, 270): Regarded as a future NFL prospect, departs after playing three seasons having recorded 74 catches for 846 yards and six touchdowns. His breakout season was the 2022 campaign in which he tallied a career-high 38 catches for 422 yards and five scores. His best game that season came against Colorado when he caught six passes for 108 yards and three touchdowns.

LB James Djonkam (Jr. 6-3, 250): Saw action in 12 games as a backup linebacker and on special teams. Recorded 13 tackles and two quarterback hurries the past season, his second playing for the Sun Devils after transferring to ASU from Independence CC (Kan.). Has two years of eligibility left.

OL Isaia Glass (Jr., 6-5, 295): Glass missed six games due to injury and then quit the team so he could preserve his redshirt and seek a transfer. The Queen Creek High School product has 13 career starts and was part of the rotation even when not starting. He has two years of eligibility left.

DL B.J. Green (Jr., 6-1, 270): Was a huge presence on the defensive line with 39 tackles, six sacks, 11 quarterback hurries and a forced fumble in his first year as a full-time starter after previously being used as a third down pass rush specialist. Went in the transfer portal a year ago but opted to return instead of going elsewhere.

ATH Javen Jacobs (So., 5-10, 195): The Saguaro High School product was originally a wide receiver but moved to the running back room in the spring but the primary action he has seen in his two years has come on special teams. Has three years of eligibility left. This season he had two punt returns for 15 yards and two kickoff returns for a total of 23 yards.

DB Isaiah Johnson (Jr., 6-1, 190): Didn't play this season, having been kicked off the team early in fall camp. Saw some time in a reserve role first two years.

DB Shawn Russ (Fr.), 6-0, 195): True freshman who left the team in fall camp. Seemed to be buried on the chart at a position ASU had some depth.

QB Drew Pyne (So., 6-0, 190): A transfer from Notre Dame who never factored prominently due to injuries. Challenged for the starting job before sustaining a hamstring injury in scrimmage at Camp Tontozona that sidelined him a month. Then got injured again with a different leg ailment. Missed a total of nine games. In his two games he completed 26 of 49 passes for 273 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.

LB Will Shaffer (Sr. 6-0, 233): Entered the transfer portal in the middle of the season after playing in four games, indicating on social media he intended to use a redshirt season and transfer. The Saguaro High product was primarily a backup in his four seasons in Tempe although he could have had a bigger role this season if he stayed because it is a position where the Sun Devils were thin. He recorded five tackles this season and his best was nine in 2022.

DL Ashley Williams (Fr., 6-5, 245): A true freshman who redshirted this season. Did not play in any games.

DB Damon Williamson (Jr., 6-1, 195): A walk-on who was the backup to safety Shamari Simmons. Played in just four games, recording one tackle. Has one year of eligibility left.

Who's staying?

QB Trenton Bourguet (Jr., 6-0, 190): The starter to end 2022 and the quarterback that was counted on this season has indicated on social media he intends to return and use his last year of eligibility here next season.
