His senior season in 2024 was one of the best ever by an ASU running back. Skattebo carried 293 times for 1,711 rushing yards and 21 rushing touchdowns, and added 45 receptions for 605 yards and three receiving touchdowns. He became the first Sun Devil to eclipse 2,000 yards from scrimmage in a single year and set the program record for rushing yards in a season.
Cam Skattebo ruled out of the 2025 season
Cam Skattebo suffered a brutal right ankle injury in the Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The injury occurred on a second-quarter pass over the middle, when Skattebo was hit from behind while trying to catch a throw from Jaxson Dart.
The Giants’ running back landed awkwardly, resulting in a dislocated ankle, an open fracture of the lower leg and a ruptured ligament. Skattebo was rushed into emergency surgery in Philadelphia on the night of the game. Before the injury, he logged 617 scrimmage yards and seven total touchdowns. The Giants have already ruled him out for the rest of 2025.
