Grayson Rigdon is ASU’s do-it-all spark plug in the backfield
Rigdon has flashed big-play juice in the 2026 season, with 4 rushing attempts for 22 yards and 2 catches for 110 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns, including a 56-yard score against Morgan State[1][11][13]. The appeal is the explosiveness: he can create chunk plays as a runner and especially as a receiver, and ASU appears comfortable using him in space rather than just as a between-the-tackles grinder[2][6]. At 5'11” and 200 pounds, he brings enough size to take contact, but his current edge is speed, hands, and home-run potential[1][3].
