Spencer Rattler, the former Oklahoma five-star quarterback who transferred to South Carolina in December, had prior interest in signing with Arizona State. That was made clear during his transfer search a couple months ago.
However, Rattler’s father Michael wanted to clear the air about why his son decided ultimately to pass on ASU after ESPN host Matt Barrie claimed on Twitter that ASU had issues with Rattler’s name, image and likeness ambitions.
What Rattler and ASU reported, though, was the interest for Rattler ended after they spoke with quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels, who has started for the Sun Devils since the 2019 season, was considering declaring for the 2022 NFL draft, but ultimately decided not to. During the period in between is when ASU showed interest in Rattler.
