Taking place 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to every game, the Devil Walk will be consist of all of the players walking through Well Fargo Arena and interacting with fans as they make their way to Sun Devil Stadium.
"Our whole deal is to show our appreciation to our students and our fans, and really develop future Sun Devils," Graham said. "Each one of our players is going to have an autographed football that they are going to throw out to a youngster."

Over the past few years, the players have simply walked to the stadium next to the student section line outside. However, this year's event will give fans a chance to beat the heat.
"I like being in the Wells Fargo Arena, obviously it's going to be cool in there," Graham said. "It will be a lot of fun. I invite everyone to come out."
Also unlike recent years, the players will have a dress code when walking to the stadium.
All players and coaches will be wearing matching black blazers with a fork on the pocket.
