Cam Skattebo, a standout running back for Arizona State, has gained attention for shaking his head during games. He clarified that this habit is not due to an injury but is related to an OCD tendency to ensure his helmet fits perfectly. Skattebo explained that the head shaking started when his helmet would stick to his face due to sweat. Although growing a beard has helped, he continues to shake his head as a personal preference during games and practices. He emphasized that this behavior is voluntary and not a tic or medical condition. Skattebo's performance has been crucial for Arizona State, contributing significantly to their success this season.
