Nebraska transfer OT Xander Ruggeroli signs with Arizona State

Former Nebraska offensive tackle Xander Ruggeroli will transfer to play for Arizona State in 2025, On3’s Pete Nakos reported. He played in just one game this past season as a true freshman for the Cornhusker and will have four years of eligibility remaining.

Ruggeroli played high school football for Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was a three-star prospect in the 2024 class. He ranked as the No. 1,261 overall player and No. 87 offensive tackle in the cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

As a transfer, Ruggeroli is the No. 891 overall player and No. 56 offensive tackle in On3’s Transfer Portal Player Rankings.

The 6-foot-6 offensive lineman helped Bishop Gorman High School to an undefeated season and state championship as a senior. Overall, he won three state titles in his high school career.

Ruggeroli is the ninth addition through the transfer portal for Arizona State and the third player it has added Sunday. The Sun Devils are coming off of a season in which they finished as Big 12 Champions and earned a College Football Playoff berth, falling in the quarterfinals to Texas.
