Unrated by Rivals when he entered his junior college Pierce, Strong eventually would become ranked the 6th highest junior college prospect at Wide Receiver when he made the move to ASU. Now, he’s amongst the second tier of Wide Receivers entering the NFL.
College Career
When Strong joined ASU in 2013 he quickly became one of their most significant players leading the team in receiving yards and gaining a streak of seven straight games with 100+ yards. In that year, he would finish as ASU’s 5th highest reception leader of all time with 75 catches over the season while gaining the attention of national award programs such as the Biletnikoff award for his efforts. In his second year with the Sun Devils he would set the 3rd highest reception total in ASU history with 82, despite missing a game. His efforts in 2014 would help bring the Sun Devils to the Hyundai Sun Bowl where they’d defeat Duke, aided by a 7 catch 103 yard game from Strong. Now he sits just outside the top prospects of the class, with some even considering him to be a potential surprise first round candidate.
