After dabbling with the safety position in high school, redshirt-junior defensive back Marcus Ball had to slide back there in order to fill the void left there by injuries that hit the Arizona State Sun Devils against the UCLA Bruins.
Throughout the whole game he thrived, finishing with a career-high 10 tackles (all solo). He would even get an interception that set Arizona State up with a field goal that would ultimately win them the game. In high school, Ball also had some experience at quarterback, and although the injury bug has hit the Sun Devils there position as well, with the form he is in, it might be better if he stays with the secondary.
