Diversity in Sun Devil Athletics is perhaps best shown by listing where everyone comes from.

Nearly a hundred student-athletes with international ties are competing this season for Sun Devil Athletics. They range from Olympians, first-team All-Americans and come from many nations. They are part of a very diverse student body at Arizona State. Check out the lists below that show where our international student-athletes began their scholastic and athletic dreams.

A warm #ASU welcome to our incoming Spring 2020 international students! Anticipate an exciting experience ahead here at @ASU and remember, you are one of more than 14,000 international #SunDevils. You are never alone and we are thrilled to have you! #ForkEm pic.twitter.com/F48pSCoobn
