ASU's 2006 Sack Monster Who Dominated with 4-Sack Games
Derron Ware, Arizona State Sun Devils linebacker in 2006, erupted with four sacks and tackles for loss in a single game against NAU—tying him for No. 1 nationally—while setting the tone for a defense desperate for big plays after a dismal 2005 (ranked 114th). Converted from safety, his explosive pass-rush intensity and leadership ignited turnarounds; reliable sources like ASU notes praise his game-changing ferocity. A decade-plus ago gem, Ware's prototype edge-rusher traits make him a nostalgic fit for teams craving disruptive LBs with proven sack artistry.
