Hines Ward is figured to be the primary recruiter for Wilson after Samples’ departure.
Last season, Wilson had 927 receiving yards on 52 catches, 18.1 yards per catch. Additionally, he had 14 touchdowns on the season with a long of 44 yards.
Tanook Hines

Currently, Hines is projected to go to Notre Dame according to 247 Sports Tom Loy, but that came on the heels of Samples’ departure from ASU.
ASU has been in the “warm” category of interest for Hines for quite some time and is still in the hunt with his official visit being this weekend. Other schools Hines will be visiting are Notre Dame, Arkansas, Baylor, and USC.
If Dillingham and Hines Ward can impress him it just might turn the tables in favor of ASU.
Houston Kaahaaina-Torres

Maki Stewart
Maki Stewart is another offensive lineman prospect. Stewart hails from Millikan High School in Long Beach, Calif. The three-star prospect ranks as the No. 854 overall player in the 2025 class, and the No. 57 IOL.
Despite being rated as a three-star prospect by 247 sports, Stewart has been turning heads recently. Stewart has attended several workouts and camps on the West Coast boosting his stock over the past few months.
With this, Stewart has acquired several Power 4 offers throughout the past few months. Along with ASU, Stewart has offers from Florida State, Southern California, Utah, Texas A&M, and Arizona among others.
With all the offers rolling in Stewart decided to trim his list down to five. Back in March Stewart announced his top five schools are: ASU, Florida State, Texas A&M, UCF, and Utah.
Chinedu Onyeagoro
Chinedu Onyeagoro is a linebacker from Los Angeles, Calif., and King Drew Medical Magnet High School. Onyeagoro ranks as the No. 477 overall player in the 2025 class and the No. 33 edge.

Last year, his junior year, Onyeagoro compiled:

Rylon Dillard-Allen is a safety out of Mountain Point High School in Phoenix. Dillard-Allen ranks as the No. 478 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class, and most importantly is the No. 4 player in the state of Arizona. Dillingham wants to prioritize recruiting in-state prospects, and Dillard-Allen would be a significant addition.
