What to know about the Arizona St. running back.
Cam Skattebo, a running back from Arizona State, is one of the top prospects at his position in the draft this year. If the New Orleans Saints don’t land Jeanty in round one, they should consider taking a swing at him.
Skattebo, a native of Rio Linda, California, has been with the Sun Devils for the past two seasons. In 2024, he rushed for 1,711 yards, breaking the school’s single-season record. Additionally, he broke their record for most rushing touchdowns in a single season, with 21.
Furthermore, in 2024, he was a first-team All-American, first-team All-Big 12, and the Peach Bowl offensive MVP.
“If you got the ball in your hands, the objective is to get in the end zone,” Skattebo said at the scouting combine. “If you love football, you’re going to do whatever you can to do that.”
Over his two years at Arizona St., he gathered 2,494 rushing yards with 30 touchdowns. Skattebo also had 891 receiving yards with four touchdown receptions.
He is one of the most physical running backs we have seen in recent years. One of his more physical scores comes from his time at Sacramento St., where he was for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
My favorite Cam Skattebo highlight was when he played at Sacramento State.

However, that doesn’t mean that he was any less physical as a Sun Devil.
