Arizona State football star Cameron Skattebo has officially announced his departure from the team, entering the NCAA transfer portal with immediate effect. The standout running back, who had an impressive season with the Sun Devils, confirmed the news through a statement on his social media accounts, expressing his gratitude for his time at ASU and his decision to pursue new opportunities elsewhere.
Skattebo’s decision comes as a significant blow to Arizona State’s offensive depth, as he had been one of the most dynamic players on the team. Over the past season, Skattebo showcased his skills as a dual-threat running back, both as a rusher and a pass-catcher, accumulating impressive yardage and scoring touchdowns. His ability to break tackles, accelerate through holes, and provide big-play potential made him a key piece of the Sun Devils’ offensive scheme.
While his departure raises questions about Arizona State’s backfield for the upcoming season, it also opens the door for younger players to step up and fill the void. Skattebo’s decision to enter the portal comes after several months of speculation, as reports indicated he was considering his options following a challenging but rewarding year.
In his statement, Skattebo thanked the Arizona State coaching staff, his teammates, and the fans for their unwavering support. He also hinted at his excitement for the next chapter in his football career, noting that he was eager to find a program where he could continue to develop and make an impact on the field.
As one of the most sought-after running backs in the transfer portal, Skattebo is expected to attract interest from several top-tier programs looking to bolster their backfield. His decision marks the latest in a series of high-profile transfers within college football as players seek new opportunities for success and playing time.
