The 2024 college football season has nearly winded down. And plenty of hardware is about to be dished about, including one of the most coveted prizes of all, the Heisman Trophy. Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo continues to show that he’s one of the best all-purpose backs in America. And on the Wednesday evening of SportsCenter on ESPN, ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham pounded the table for his superstar to get some more love for the Heisman Trophy.

The Sun Devils currently sit at 9-2 overall and there’s no question that Skattebo has carried them all season long. He’s already racked up 1,221 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. As a receiver, he’s also hauled in 34 catches for 460 yards and two touchdowns. Skattebo is averaging 122.1 yards per game, placing him seventh in the nation in that stat category, just behind Tahj Brooks of Texas Tech. He also helped lift the Sun Devils to a 28-23 win over the BYU Cougars, finishing with 28 carries for 147 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

Skattebo recently became just the 10th running back in Sun Devil history to post a 1,200-yard rushing season, joining the likes of Sun Devil greats such as Ryan Torain, Eno Benjamin, and others. His career-best 262 rushing yards against Mississippi State this season gave him the second-highest single-game rushing total in ASU football history, behind Eno Benjamin (312 rushing yards–2018).

In 2023, Skattebo piled up over 1,000 all-purpose yards and 11 total touchdowns for the Sun Devils. For his college football career, he’s already tallied 3,896 total rushing yards and 1,241 receiving yards, establishing himself as one of the elite all-purpose backs in the game today. The California native has 43 total touchdowns, displaying his knack finding the end zone, both as a receiver and on the ground.

Arizona State will finish out their 2024 season with their heated in-state rivals, the Arizona Wildcats. That game and the bowl game will potentially be opportunities for Skattebo to add to his single-season rushing yardage total and continue to climb the charts in ASU program history. We’ll have to see if the Sun Devils can sneak into the Big 12 title game, as there are currently four teams tied atop the Big 12 with 6-2 records in the conference.
