Which Sun Devils, Wildcats will represent ASU, Arizona football at Big 12 media days?

ASU and Arizona will send several players from their respective football teams to the 2026 Monster Energy Big 12 Football Media Days in early July.

The conference’s 16 teams will convene at The Star in Frisco, Texas, over two days; ASU is among the eight teams taking their turn on July 7 while Arizona and the rest of the teams will go the following day.

Head coaches and players will make the rounds beginning at 8 a.m. MST each day, with coverage ending at 1 p.m.

Catch coverage of the event both days on ESPNU, while ESPN2 will carry part of the first day’s coverage as well. Kevin Connors will anchor ESPN’s coverage along with analysts Dusty Dvoracek and Louis Riddick and reporters Jen Lada and Sydney Jones.

The media days mark about three-quarters of the way between Indiana winning the CFP national title on Jan. 19 and Sept. 5 when the Sun Devils and Wildcats open their 2026 regular seasons.

Who will represent ASU and Arizona at Big 12 media days?

The following seven players will join head coach Kenny Dillingham for the Sun Devils’ portion of media days:

• TE Khamari Anderson
• RB Kyson Brown
• LB Zyrus Fiaseu
• DL C.J. Fite
• OL Jalen Klemm
• DB Lyrik Rawls
• DB Montana Warren

It’s the full Tillman Leadership Council for 2026, barring any unexpected additions before the season. Brown, Fite and Warren have all spent their entire college careers to this point at ASU, entering their fourth seasons under Dillingham.

Last season’s Sun Devil representatives each wore custom suits tailored by Scottsdale-based Art Lewin Bespoke Suits, which has indicated this year’s attendees are getting the same treatment.

Here’s who will join Wildcats head coach Brent Brennan in Frisco:

• OL Tristan Bounds
• LB Taye Brown
• DB Jay’vion Cole
• QB Noah Fifita
• WR Chris Hunter III
• DE Tre Smith
• WR Tre Spivey

Spivey was not included in the original Big 12 release detailing who would attend, but he was included in Arizona’s own graphic about the event.

Fifita will appear ahead of his final season in Tucson, in line to add to his all-time program accolades that already include the most passing touchdowns of any Arizona Wildcat of all time.

The seven players for each squad is a high mark in the conference, with most teams sending four-to-six players and West Virginia the lone team sending three.
