Craig Koontz brings senior depth and proven experience to Arizona State’s safety room
Koontz enters Arizona State as a senior safety with the kind of mature, transfer-tested profile coaches value: a 6-foot-1, 190-pound defender from Redding who gives the Sun Devils experienced depth on the back end.[3][5] ASU’s spring report specifically grouped him with the defensive standouts headlining the safety room, which suggests he is being trusted to compete for meaningful snaps rather than simply add roster size.[9] His best differentiators are size, experience, and positional versatility in a developing secondary, making him a strong fit for a team that wants steadiness, physicality, and a ready-made veteran presence.[3][5][9]
