What had been rumored for weeks finally became official on Sunday. Oregon football offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham has been named the next head coach at Arizona State.

The 32-year-old heads for Tempe after one season in Eugene, greatly improving Oregon's offense.

This season, the Ducks offense was the first in the country in fewest sacks allowed (4) and also was a top ten team in the FBS in redzone touchdowns and total yards per play.

Dillingham is an Arizona State graduate as well as a native of Arizona, and began his college coaching career as an assistant at ASU in 2014.

He becomes the youngest Power-5 head coach in the country.

After Sunday's announcement, Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson said, "We are proud to announce Kenny Dillingham as our new head football coach. He brings the energy, knowledge and appreciation of our state and university that is valued by all of us. His knowledge of the current college football landscape, learned by coaching across the nation, is needed and wanted at ASU. He will care at the highest level about our state, our alumni, our former players and every single group that is important to help us win. We look forward to working with him and all Sun Devils in making his staff successful and helping our program reach our goals."

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning released a statement shortly after Dillingham's move was announced:

"Sauphia and I couldn't be happier for Kenny and his wife, Bri, and their son, Kent, as he embarks on a new journey as head coach at Arizona State. Kenny did a phenomenal job this year for our program and we are excited to see him chase his dream in his hometown. We are grateful for his efforts here and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors."

Oregon is slated to face Arizona State in Tempe in 2023.
