Arizona State Football Coach Kenny Dillingham Announces Departure of Two Players: Kamari Wilson and Prince Dorbah
Arizona State football coach Kenny Dillingham has confirmed the departure of two players from the program today: sophomore linebacker Kamari Wilson and junior defensive end Prince Dorbah. The announcement, which has sent ripples through the Sun Devils’ football community, comes amidst a tumultuous season for the team.
Wilson, who transferred to Arizona State from the University of Florida last year, was expected to contribute heavily in the linebacker corps. Despite showing potential, his playing time this season has been limited, and sources suggest that his decision to leave was influenced by a desire for more consistent playing opportunities. Wilson, a Florida native, had a standout high school career and was highly regarded as a prospect when he joined the Sun Devils.
Dorbah, a transfer from the University of Texas, joined the Sun Devils in 2023 with a reputation as a dynamic pass rusher. However, he has struggled to find a consistent role in the defensive line rotation under Dillingham’s defensive scheme. His departure, although somewhat unexpected, could point to a shift in his future plans, as he explores new opportunities to continue his college football career.
Coach Dillingham expressed understanding and support for both players in his statement, acknowledging the challenges that come with transition and development at the collegiate level. “We wish Kamari and Prince nothing but the best in their future endeavors,” Dillingham said. “We appreciate their contributions to the program and respect their decisions to move on.”
The departures of Wilson and Dorbah leave noticeable gaps in Arizona State’s defense, which has struggled with consistency throughout the season. As the Sun Devils prepare for the remainder of the 2025 season, Dillingham will look to fill these vacancies with younger talent and potential incoming transfers to stabilize the defense moving forward.
