Tate Romney, who spent just one season in the program after this LDS Mission for two years, was a highly-touted three recruit. He signed with BYU as part of the 2020 signing class. Tate is the younger brother of BYU wide receiver Gunner Romney and former BYU quarterback Baylor Romney.
During his senior year of high school ball at Chandler High, Romney racked up 115 tackles, seven sacks, and six pass deflections. When Arizona State plays USC this Saturday, ASU’s starter at quarterback could be Romney’s high school teammate Jacob Conover. They both attended BYU together before transferring to the Sun Devils.
Romney has racked up 15 tackles in three starts for ASU against Southern Utah, Oklahoma State and Fresno State.
The Sun Devils’ defense has been a bright spot for ASU this season. If the Devils want to have any chance versus USC and Caleb Williams — arguably the best offense in the country — they need stops and turnovers. It starts with Romney and the four transfers up front for the Sun Devils on Saturday.
