Brandon Magee, the senior linebacker and captain of ASU's stout defense, is known as a great player on the field. The California native currently averages more tackles-per-game than any other Sun Devil player.
Beyond the gridiron, Magee is entertaining, often making appearances on radio because of his goofy and unique personality. Therefore, the next installment of our Get To Know Your Sun Devils series was right up his alley.
