“I discussed it with my parents,” Capra said, “and we came together and this was the best decision for me and my family. I love the school and this was the time (to commit). I wanted to commit in the summer before my season started because I wanted to focus on my senior season and I’m graduating in December. I felt really comfortable with the staff on my visit and I really liked that the school had so 14 business degree options to choose from.

“The coaches were very excited when I called them. I called (offensive line) coach Christensen first and he said that he’s leaving for on vacation tomorrow and this made his day and a better vacation.

Capra, who’s the younger brother of a pair of Pac-12 offensive linemen in Johnny Capra (Utah) and Jacob Capra (Oregon), said in a previous interview that the Sun Devil staff sees him as an interior lineman in ASU’s front five.

“Coach Christensen sees me as a center or a guard,” Capra commented. “He likes my explosiveness and speed. I really enjoy his recruiting style, and the whole coaching staff is open and warm-hearted to everyone, just open to talking to them. I like how kind they are, funny and friendly.”

The lineman had offers from Utah, SDSU, Duke, Washington State, Oregon State, Boise State as well as a few Ivy League schools. Capra is ASU’s ninth known pledge of the 2019 class and the third offensive lineman of that group.
