Norman-Lott played in only one game his freshman year but totaled 30 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks in his sophomore campaign.

Norman-Lott played a major role in 2021 and was slotted behind Lole on the depth chart for 2022.

The Sun Devils had signed 16 four-star athletes from 2019-22 and only five remain due to the transfer portal, according to 247Sports.
