AJ Ia News: Battling for starting TE role

Published on April 24, 2026

Ia is battling Khamari Anderson for Arizona State's starting tight end role, per Arizona State on SI.

Ia caught just one pass for 10 yards last fall, but he's in prime position to win the Sun Devils' starting tight end role alongside Anderson, who is slightly more experienced with previous stops at Kentucky before he started his Wildcats' career in 2025.
