With just 46 days remaining until the Arizona State Sun Devils kick off their 2025 football season, fans are counting down the days with excitement. Each day brings a new chance to look back at the legacy of those who’ve worn the corresponding jersey number. Today, we turn our attention to No. 46.
While No. 46 may not be the most high-profile number on the roster, it has been worn by several hardworking and impactful players throughout Sun Devil history. Often donned by special teams standouts, linebackers, or walk-ons who earned their place through grit and determination, the number represents a quiet but essential part of the team’s fabric.
One notable example is former linebacker Jordan Simone, who became a fan favorite not just for his play but for his journey as a walk-on turned starter and vocal leader. His passion and perseverance embody what No. 46 has come to represent at Arizona State—dedication, toughness, and heart.
As the season opener nears, fans can reflect on the contributions of players like Simone and others who wore No. 46 with pride. Their legacy fuels the anticipation and spirit that surround Sun Devil football each
fall.
