Senior (2019)
  • The senior was voted as a captain by his teammates for the second consecutive year.
  • Started all 38 games of his career consecutively, starting every game from the beginning of his sophomore season.
  • Anchor of an offensive line that paved the way for running back Eno Benjamin's second consecutive 1,000-yard season, the first time a Sun Devil running back had accomplished the feat since the 1970s
  • A key reason for the immediate success of freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels, helping call the protections and organize the rest of the offensive line.
  • Showed his versatility and selflessness by briefly moving to left tackle, before finishing the year as one of the top centers in the conference.
  • Credited with just one sack allowed on the season, tied for 29th among FBS centers and second in the Pac-12.
  • The sack excluded, Cabral did not allow a QB hit this season – one of just 17th centers in the FBS to lay the claim.
  • His 10 total QB pressures allowed this season were the 25th-lowest among FBS centers and third-fewest in the Pac-12.
  • Finished with the 14th-best run-blocking efficiency score among FBS centers with a positive impact on 13.6 percent of ASU's run snaps – 4.5 points higher than the national average.
  • Received Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Week recognition on September 30th.
Junior (2018)
  • Widely regarded as one of the most well-rounded centers in college football
  • Competed hard every week, starting all 13 games for Arizona State
  • A team leader, earning the Team Captain Award at the annual Team Banquet
  • Second Team Pac-12 All-Conference selection
  • Helped pave the way for a record-breaking season from Sun Devil running back Eno Benjamin
  • Intelligent mind with a high football I.Q. helping set the blocking schemes at the line of scrimmage
  • One of just 15 Power Five centers to not allow a sack this season
  • The third-highest graded center in the Pac-12 as a run blocker (66.3).
  • Has a positive run impact on 9.9 percent of plays this season, the 28th-best total among all FBS centers
  • Helped anchor an offensive line that allowed just 16 sacks all season – good for the third-fewest allowed by a Sun Devil offensive line in program history
  • ASU had 6 games this season where it didn't allow a sack. Since at least 2000, no ASU team had had more two such games in an entire season
  • The Sun Devils finished 14th in the FBS with 1.23 allowed per game. ASU hadn't finished in Top-100 in fewest sacks allowed per game since 2011 (74th). In fact, since 2003 (as far back as easily accessible team rankings go), ASU finished in the top-100 just 3 times, and never better than 70th.
Sophomore (2017)
  • Became a mainstay on the offensive line in his second season in Tempe, opening holes for Demario Richard’s 1,000-yard season
  • Helped the Sun Devil run blocking scheme improve to the 34th highest graded group in the country according to PFF last season, after ranking 69th in 2016
  • Started all 13 games at left tackle during his sophomore campaign
