Ragle was head coach at Chaparral from 2007-11, where he won a state title with Kenny Dillingham on his 2011 staff.
Sources: Arizona State is hiring Idaho State defensive ends coach Vince Amey as an on-field defensive coach. He's a former assistant coach at Arizona and has extensive high school experience in the state of Arizona. He played defensive tackle at ASU from 1994-98.

According to Karpman, Ragle informed his Idaho State team that he will leave for ASU to coach special teams and tight ends. Amey will be an “on-field” assistant, presumably with an emphasis on the defensive line.
Ragle, Dillingham and Amey won a state title together while on-staff at Chaparral High School in Scottsdale in 2011. Amey joined Ragle at the University of Arizona as a defensive analyst, and then eventually the defensive line coach. Amey, a former Sun Devil defensive tackle, was also the defensive coordinator at Marana High School when ASU quarterback Trenton Bourguet was a senior.
More importantly, Ragle is known for being a masterclass-recruiter, with strong Arizona ties, while at Arizona at Cal.
Dillingham will continue to build his staff in the coming days.
