Arizona secured a commitment from five-star guard Brayden Burries on Wednesday, ensuring the Wildcats can now fill two starting spots next season with a pair of McDonald’s All-Americans.

“Arizona was the best fit for me and my family,” Burries said on television after announcing his decision. “Coach [Tommy] Lloyd is a great guy. … He allows his players to play both up and down, but they also execute within a structured framework. Everybody is held accountable. Their style of play is smart and aggressive.”

Burries is the second McDonald’s All-American to commit to the Wildcats in the past two weeks, joining five-star wing Koa Peat. That means a possible Arizona starting lineup now looks like this:

G: Jaden Bradley

G: Brayden Burries

F: Koa Peat

F: Tobe Awaka

C: Motiejus Krivas

Bradley and Awaka combined to start 73 games this past season for an Arizona team that advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Krivas only appeared in eight games before a leg injury ended his sophomore year.

The addition of Burries has the Wildcats up to No. 6 in Version 3 of the 2025-26 CBS Sports preseason Top 25 And 1, where Houston remains No. 1.

Houston's heartbreak is piling up and Kelvin Sampson is running out of time: 'This was the year right here'

The Cougars are projected to return four of the top seven scorers — specifically Emanuel Sharp, Milos Uzan, Terrance Arceneaux and Joseph Tugler — from a team that finished 35-5 after falling to Florida in Monday’s championship game of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. That core will be joined by a recruiting class highlighted by Creighton transfer Pop Isaacs, five-star freshman Chris Cenac Jr. and four-star freshmen Isiah Harwell and Kingston Flemings, each of whom should play a role in helping Kelvin Sampson try to take the Cougars to the Final Four for the third time in a six-year span.

Arizona State Football Star Uses NIL to Honor Legend Pat Tillman on Memorial Day

As if star quarterback Sam Leavitt had any trouble winning over the Arizona State Sun Devils fan base before, his latest off-the-field move will have him in everyone’s good favor.

Broadcaster Blake Niemann for Fox 10 Phoenix shared that Leavitt was making a personal donation of $15,000 to the Pat Tillman Foundation. It was a very nice use of his NIL funds, giving back to one of the school’s most storied heroes.

It is no coincidence that this is taking place on Memorial Day weekend, with Leavitt choosing a great way to show his respect.

About Pat Tillman

Tillman played from 1994 to 1997 with the Sun Devils where he was an All-American and Defensive Player of the Year. He was taken in the seventh-round of the 1998 NFL draft by Arizona Cardinals.

Rather than signing a second contract with the Cardinals, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2022. He tragically died two years later and has been etched into the football history books since.

The foundation in his honor focuses on helping military veterans and their spouses through scholarships and leadership programs.

Leavitt’s generous donation will go a long way and further ingratiates himself as one of the program’s top players in recent history.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakout redshirt freshman year with 2,885 yards with 24 touchdowns to just six interceptions while completing 61.7% of his passes.

He also got it done on the ground when needed with 443 rushing yards and five more touchdowns. After the season, he was named the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year and was on the All-Big 12 second team.

Leavitt had transferred in as a three-star quarterback after spending one year with the Michigan State Spartans.

It likely would have worked out well for him to enter the transfer portal again after 2024, but he decided to stick it out with Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State.

Now he is projected to be a potential draft pick in 2026 if he can build upon what he showed last season.

On3Sports’ NIL Valuation rankings has him as the No. 11 highest-earning college athlete with $3 million. That would make him the eighth-highest in college football.

That level of stardom is unprecedented with the Sun Devils, but just goes to show how much Dillingham has changed the culture in just a couple of years.

After a surprise run through the Big 12 Championship to the College Football Playoff, Arizona State will be expected to be a top team again in 2026.
