Unraveling the Tale of ASU Football's Legal Drama

Who is Laterrance Welch?

Welch entered the transfer portal on Monday, a week after his arrest. He had reportedly been dismissed from the team following the Nov. 30 game against the University of Arizona due to a rules violation. In his lone season in Tempe, he recorded 13 tackles and two interceptions, showcasing his skills on the field.

One of his most memorable plays came in a 35 - 31 win over UCF on Nov. 9 when he returned an interception for a touchdown. His other interception occurred in the Territorial Cup, which was the final game he played for the Sun Devils.

The Incident Details

Laterrance Welch was arrested and booked on charges of theft and trafficking of stolen property around 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, according to the Scottsdale Police Department. The watch, valued at $30,000, was reported stolen to ASU Police the week before his arrest. He stole the watch and tried to pawn it at Estate Watch and Jewelry Company in downtown Scottsdale.

After being booked by Scottsdale Police, Welch was turned over to campus police for their investigation. This incident has raised questions about the team's disciplinary measures and the player's actions.

ASU's Future in the CFP Playoff

ASU will now play either Clemson or Texas in the quarterfinals of the CFP Playoff in the Peach Bowl on Jan. 1 in Atlanta. The team's focus will now shift to this important game, with the aftermath of Welch's actions hanging over them.

It remains to be seen how this incident will impact ASU's performance and their chances in the playoff. Fans and analysts will be closely watching as the team prepares for this crucial matchup.
