Davaren Hightower brings rare versatility to ASU’s secondary
Hightower stands out as a true Swiss Army knife: Arizona State listed him as a safety after he spent time at tailback, wide receiver, returner, and even quarterback, which speaks to his athletic instincts and toughness more than any box-score line ever could[1][2]. In his Arizona State career, he posted 147 rushing attempts for 570 yards and 24 receptions for 232 yards, showing a player the staff trusted to create value in multiple ways[4][14]. For a team that wants flexibility, competitiveness, and a guy who can handle a lot of jobs without blinking, he’s exactly the kind of fit that quietly makes a roster better[1][2].
