Cam Skattebo Future NFL Outlook
It appears that Skattebo will be headed to the NFL next season after a dominant senior season for the Sun Devils. In Pro Football Network’s recent 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft by Jacob Infante, Skattebo was projected to be selected 161st by the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, yesterday’s performance has the football world talking — and it may have increased Skattebo’s draft stock in the process. He flashed impressive passing-game chops while pushing his body to the brink, all while remaining efficient on the ground.
Skattebo finished the season rushing for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns. He also finished with 45 receptions for 605 yards and three touchdowns.
