Herm Edwards and his staff added another weapon for quarterback Jayden Daniels, as former Utah wide receiver Bryan Thompson is transferring to Arizona State.
The team announced on Friday that Thompson signed a grant-in-aid letter to play for the Sun Devils and will have two years of eligibility left.
Thompson made a name for himself due to his big play ability. He has averaged 22.9 yards per catch on 33 career receptions.
