Arizona State football has reportedly added three linemen through the transfer portal: Jimeto Obigbo from Texas State, Xander Ruggeroli from Nebraska, and My'Keil Gardner from Oregon, according to Arizona Sports.

Obigbo is the headliner. The 6-foot-4, 357-pound senior started at right tackle for Texas State and logged 1,002 snaps in 2023. He and current ASU offensive lineman Josh Atkins share a connection: both graduated from Mansfield Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas in 2021.

Ruggeroli, a 6-foot-6, 285-pound lineman, arrives from Nebraska, where he was rated the No. 162 offensive tackle prospect in the 2024 class by 247Sports.

Gardner comes to Tempe from Oregon on the defensive side. He was the No. 55 defensive lineman prospect in the 2023 class and has four years of eligibility remaining after redshirting in 2024 following a season-ending injury.

AZ Central has also tracked the Sun Devils' broader transfer portal activity this cycle. The three additions were first reported by Arizona Sports.
