Arizona State University has successfully recruited Iowa State offensive line twins Brent and Wade Helton from the transfer portal, marking a strategic addition to their football team. Both players redshirted during their freshman year without seeing game action, having been three-star recruits from Corona Centennial High. Wade is the elder twin, ranked higher at No. 969 overall, while Brent follows at No. 1,326. With offensive line depth a clear focus for ASU's spring camp, the Heltons are anticipated to enhance competition for starting positions.
