Back on April 22, Mountain Pointe defensive back Rylon Dillard-Allen became the Sun Devils’ first public in-state commit in the 2025 class.
A few weeks later, and the defensive back and Arizona State have opted not to move forward together.
On Wednesday, Dillard-Allen posted the following on X:
“After talking to Kenny Dillingham, we have decided it’s best for me to reopen up my recruitment. It was always my dream to play at ASU and be the local guy. But I want to go experience something in college and outside the state!”
He continued:
“Nothing but respect for the coaching staff, but we have both decided this is the best situation for Arizona State, and myself.”
The defensive back announced on Tuesday he would be taking an official visit to Texas A&M.
Dillard-Allen is coming off a junior season with 43 tackles, a tackle for loss, two interceptions and a fumble caused in six games last year. He sat out the first five games of the season after transferring from Desert Vista. He is also one of the best track athletes in the state.
The Sun Devils now have 12 public commitments with one coming from within the state in Saguaro defensive back Dajon Hinton. According to 247Sports, Arizona State has the No. 14 class in the nation currently.
