ASU Football: Opposing players to watch- Arizona

One of the greatest things about college football are the in-state rivalries that schools brew up with each other. UCLA and USC, Florida and Florida State, and Alabama and Auburn represent a few of the nation's classic in-state battles.

In 2013. Arizona State drubbed Arizona to the tune of 58 points and 478 yards of offense in a blowout win. The two teams will meet up again this year, this time back down south in Tuscon. Who are some Arizona players to watch out for? We take a look at four players who will impact the game against the Sun Devils.

Defense: Tra'Mayne Bondurant (5-foot-8, 198 pounds)

We're going to give Bondurant the benefit of the doubt here and assume he gets his act together in the next few weeks.

Bondurant is headed into his senior year as the starting safety. Regardless of where he lines up on the field, Bondurant has been productive in his three years in Tuscon, making 30 starts and accumulating 191 tackles in his career thus far, including 22 tackles for loss.

He has three career sacks to go with seven interceptions, 17 passes broken up and four forced fumbles. Bondurant is all over the field, consistently wreaking havoc. He comes into 2014 with a plethora of experience that will allow him the freedom to do what he does best, make plays. Arizona State needs to keep an eye on him at all times.

Offense: Austin Hill (6-foot-3, 210 pounds)

Most redshirt seniors come into their last year of eligibility having redshirted their freshman year, allowing them to practice and learn while not losing a year of eligibility. Austin Hill redshirted, but it was a result of a spring 2013 ACL tear that made him miss what was supposed to be his senior year. Granted another year of eligibility, Hill returns to the field as Arizona's top NFL prospect and their most dangerous offensive weapon.

In 2012, Hill's most recent season played, he pulled in 81 receptions for 1364 yards and 11 touchdowns. His production was greatly missed last year, and his return will make things infinitely easier for whoever is throwing the rock for the Wildcats. Hill got stronger while recovering from the injury, and that'll only help his already-superb hands and ability to haul in poor throws. If he has a year like he did in 2012, he could be a darkhorse for the Biletnikoff Award.

Defense: Scooby Wright (6-foot-1, 230 pounds)

Coach Rodriguez's linebacking core is vastly unproven, and he'll give fair shots to nearly ten players to win playing time. However, he does have star linebacker Scooby Wright. Wright came to Tuscon as a two-star recruit, not seen by anybody as having a chance to get game minutes. But his hustle made him a favorite of the coaches, and he earned 12 starts as a true freshman. In 2013, Wright totaled 83 tackles and was named as an All-Pac-12 honorable mention. He was also the tail-end of one of the best plays from the 2013 season, corralling a tip from a teammate to pull in an interception in a blowout win over national power Oregon.

Wright has the talent combined with the work ethic and motor to explode on the national scene, and his sophomore campaign may be when he decides to do just that. Playing the Sam linebacker, Wright is a leader on the Arizona defense and his star will only get brighter.

Jared Tevis (5-foot-11, 202 pounds)

If any player can miss two games with an injury and still record 83 tackles in a season, no doubt he's a player to watch. That's exactly what redshirt senior safety Jared Tevis did last season. The Tucson native will certainly give Arizona some help over the top against Jaelen Strong. He was an All-Pac-12 honorable mention last season and made eight tackles last season against the Sun Devils.He is small, but he has an undeniable toughness to him.

Since it is his last season at Arizona, his game against the Sun Devils could be his last in a Wildcat uniform, or at the the very least his last Territorial Cup game so Tevis will definitely have a chip on his shoulder that night.
