Cam Skattebo rises to stardom as Arizona State reaches College Football Playoff quarterfinals

Cam Skattebo, once an unheralded recruit, has emerged as a star running back for Arizona State. Recently, he received praise from Nick Saban, who called him his "favorite player." This recognition came after Skattebo's standout performance in the Big 12 Championship Game. Arizona State, initially predicted to finish last in the Big 12, won the conference title by defeating Iowa State 45-19. Skattebo contributed significantly, rushing for 170 yards and scoring three touchdowns, leading the team to its first College Football Playoff appearance. Skattebo's journey began at Sacramento State, where he became a key player after a teammate's departure. After transferring to Arizona State, he improved his game and had a remarkable season, finishing fifth in Heisman Trophy voting and helping the Sun Devils achieve 11 wins.
