Arizona State senior OL Cohl Cabral attended the 2019 Pac-12 Media Day in Hollywood, California last week, and DevilsDigest had a chance to catch up with him to get his thoughts on the strengths of the five senior teammates he'll be manning the line with this fall. Check out his comments below:

Zach Robertson

"He's one of the most athletic guys I've ever seen play the spot. When he got here at 350 (pounds), there's not many guys at 350 that should move the way he does on the field. His sets, his footwork, it's unlike anyone his size I've ever seen. Now that he's lost the weight, it's ridiculous to see how quick he can be off the ball, how much he can do in his pass set, and how much he can really play around with everything and still be within a playable, comfortable position. Even if he takes the wrong step, he can put himself back in the right position."

Steven Miller

"He knows what's going on. Me and him are very similar in the way we look at the game. If we don't have an answer, we're going to go find it. I live with Steve, so we sit and watch film all the time. We'll look at everything for reasons why things happen a certain way, or why certain plays work more than others. He's just smart, and has a knack for seeing (things) on the field to where it makes it easier to make my calls on the field."

Alex Losoya

"He brings the physicallity. He's one of our best pullers. There's a reason we use him for a lot of our pulling, because he comes around and just thumps anything that's not supposed to be there. You tell him to run through a wall, he's going to run through a wall. That's just his thing, he's going to bring the physicality part to the field, and (opponents) just don't like that."

Cade Cote

"He's paid his dues. The fact that he's taken the time to have the opportunities that he has now, he's worked for everything. He's gone and done everything he possibly can, and now he's sniffing his way onto the field. Some guys it takes that long, and the fact that he's found his way onto the field, I'm stoked for him. What he brings to the table is he's strong as a friggen' ox, but he's smart, and he knows how to play within his position and within his ability."

Roy Hemsley

"He's huge, and he's got the best first step I've ever seen on a guy. When he comes off the ball... before the ball is out of my hand, I start saying something and he's already flying off the ball."

Bonus- Cohl Cabral talks about Redshirt Freshman Jarrett Bell

"I've known Jarrett for 6-7 years. I worked out with him when I was in high school. He was an 8th or 7th grader and I was working out with him because he wanted to find better competition and came and found where it was. He wanted to work out and work at everything, and now we're getting together every day and saying 'hey what are we doig after practice, after lift or after a run, what are we working on, what technique are we doing, do you want to go watch film?' So he can start understanding and start building that knowledge of the game that I've taken in over the years with Coach Sale, Coach Thomsen, guys who have been around a long time, or now having Coach Mawae, and being able to take those pieces I pulled from them and share them with him so he's where I was as a senior when he's a redshirt sophomore."
