Arizona State University (ASU) football coach Kenny Dillingham is maintaining focus on his team amidst speculation regarding quarterback Sam Leavitt’s potential transfer. Meanwhile, Dillingham provided an update on wide receiver Jordyn Tyson’s status for the upcoming game against Colorado.
Jordyn Tyson’s Status Update
On November 21, Dillingham indicated that Tyson has a “really good chance” of returning to play. The Sun Devils are set to face Colorado during Week 13 of the season. “We’ll figure out today,” said Dillingham during an appearance on Arizona Sports 98.7. Tyson’s participation will depend on his performance during practice, which is referred to as “fast Friday.” A decision about his availability will be made on game day after a pregame evaluation.

Notably, he participated in 11-on-11 drills during practice that day, marking his first extensive involvement since the injury.
Team Outlook
Dillingham praised Tyson’s commitment to the team, emphasizing his determination to return to the field. “His mindset from Day 1 has been, I want to play with my teammates and I want to help,” Dillingham stated. “I can respect that about him.”
