Diesch

Diesch (6'7/301) was a two-year starter for Arizona State after transferring from Texas A&M. He was a second-team All-Pac 12 selection in 2021, starting 12 games at left tackle for the Sun Devils and giving up just two sacks on 768 plays. His offensive PFF rating increased every year, ending with a fantastic 87.2 grade last year. Diesch is all about speed and athleticism. His below-average length and power limit his upside, but his speed, footwork, and balance are some of the best in the class. His excellent athleticism can be seen in his great testing scores, where he ranked in the 95th percentile in the 20-yard shuttle, the 91st in the vertical jump, and the 97th percentile in the 40-yard dash. He needs to bulk up and get stronger, but if he can do that and keep the speed, he could make it.

Diesch (6'6/298) hopped into the transfer portal at the end of the 2019 season. Fast forward a month and the redshirt senior has found a new home. He is already enrolled at ASU and will be taking part in spring practice upcoming. During his time with the Aggies, Diesch saw the field in 21 total games. Consider this a nice depth add for the Sun Devils.

Diesch (6'6/298) entered his name into the transfer portal last week, and he’ll be eligible immediately at his next stop as a grad student. With regards to Wommack’s view that Arkansas would be a good fit for the redshirt junior, it’s worth noting that Diesch has a connection with new HC Sam Pittman. He originally committed to Arkansas in the summer of 2016 before reopening his recruitment that October, ultimately going on to pick Texas A&M and never getting to play for Pittman. There’s familiarity between the two parties, and there’s a need for offensive line talent in Fayetteville.

Diesch (6'6/298) will be a grad transfer, so he’ll be eligible to play immediately at his next stop. After appearing in nine games in 2018, the redshirt junior tackle played in 11 games this season.

A Trophy Club, Texas, native, Diesch made visits to Oklahoma and Tennessee before opting to stay in-state. The 6-foot-7, 270-pounder checks into the ESPN 300 at No. 230. The outlet notes that he’s a “tall lean prospect that could potentially project to a few positions.” While he could see time at defensive end or tight end during his collegiate career, his best fit--and likely his highest upside--comes along the offensive line at tackle.
