Arizona State linebacker Merlin Robertson looks back on his career as he faces his last few games with the team, but he's excited about the future.
Merlin Robertson leaned on Darien Butler when he came into the Arizona State football fold in 2018. Both were true freshmen and worked their way into the starting lineup as rookies alongside each other in the linebacking unit. Former coach Herm Edwards even dubbed them Batman and Robin for the way they worked together.
"He's my cheat sheet now," Robertson laughed while meeting with the media earlier this week."I tell him, 'Tell me everything you know.' We just chopped it up and he told me what to look forward to, what I can improve on, stuff like that. What the process will be like when it comes time. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder has played in 51 games, starting 47. If he stays away from injury, he'll have played in 53 games, tying Chase Lucas for the most in school history. He would be at 49 games started which ties him with Lucas, but is one fewer than Dexter Davis whose 50 starts are a Sun Devil best.
Robertson burst onto the scene with quite a bit of fanfare. He was named Defensive Freshman Player of the Year in the Pac-12. His play plateaued for a couple of years, and he failed to match the accolades he notched as a rookie. Asked which games are his most memorable in an ASU uniform, he singled out the 70-7 win over rival Arizona in the 2020 Territorial Cup game as well as the 16-13 win over then No. 15 Michigan State in Tempe his freshman year, the latter because it came on his father's birthday.
