Arizona State adds commitment from DL Khing Thibodeaux: 'I'm coming to break records'

One of the nation’s best 2027 defensive linemen has found a home.

As the regular season winds down in his senior season, three-star defensive lineman Khing Thibodeaux has locked in his commitment to Arizona State, Rivals has learned.

Thibodeaux is scheduled to officially visit Tempe this weekend and is excited about playing for Kenny Dillingham and in the Big 12 conference.

“I’m excited to play for coach Dillingham and the Sun Devils,” Thibodeaux told Rivals. “I’ll be a great fit in their defense.”

The touted defensive lineman is having a stellar senior season for DeSoto (Texas) High School and is excited to make his presence felt in a conference notorious for throwing the pill.

The Sun Devils turned up the heat on the senior prospect over the last few days — and he will get his first look around campus this weekend. Oklahoma State also made a push for Thibodeaux, one of the top defensive linemen in the Lone Star State.

“I feel like it’s a great fit knowing the Big 12 is a pass conference,” Thibodeaux said. “I’m coming to break records.”

Thibodeaux ranks as the No. 801 overall prospect in the Class of 2027, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He is the No. 87 DL in the country and the No. 104 player from the Lone Star State — regardless of position.
