4-Star Safety Prospect Ely Doyle Commits to Arizona State

Arizona State has added a big-time safety for the 2018 class in Ely Doyle.

Doyle announced his decision with the following tweet:

Doyle is a 4-star recruit, listed as the No. 30 safety in the nation and No. 6 player at his position from the state of California, per Scout.com.

While he has spent time at receiver, cornerback and safety in his high school career, Doyle might be best suited to play safety in college. He has good size for the position at 6'1", 185 pounds, as well as the speed and athleticism necessary to cover a lot of ground in the defensive secondary.

Additionally, he has enough physicality to make an impact against the run as well.

His ability to make plays with the ball in his hands could allow him to see some time at receiver, but his future will likely be on the defensive side of the field.

How long it will take for him to see the field is a question. Even with impressive strength, he could use a redshirt season to add some more weight to his frame.

Whether he waits a year or not, Doyle has the talent to make an impact early in his career.

Although Arizona State has brought in talented players for the secondary, the recruit should be able to compete for playing time and find a spot on the field before too long.
