Two Sun Devil playmakers have a strong connection that runs far longer than their time in Tempe.
ASU point guard Frankie Collins and wide receiver Elijhah Badger are constantly supporting each other in their respective sports, but that’s something they’ve been doing since elementary school.
They played football together growing up in the Sacramento area. They also played on a fourth grade AAU team together that also featured current Washington Commander and former Arizona Wildcat Jalen Harris and Milwaukee Buck Tyty Washington.
They’ve kept in touch over the years. Badger ended up in Tempe. Collins started his college career at Michigan before transferring to ASU to play under Bobby Hurley.
Now, they’re reunited and making plays for the Devils on the gridiron and basketball court.
