After boosting the offense last offseason, the Wildcats set their sights on the defense this year; 16 of their 26 signees - including former five-star linebacker Justin Flowe - play on that side of the ball.

He'll be here in January, ready to roll for the first day of classes, for spring ball, for everything we could possibly ask for there. be in our strength-and-conditioning program, our training room, all those things. Flowe is one of 15 players signed Wednesday who are expected to enroll in January. If he’s able to stay healthy, Flowe should be part of a defensive lineup that could feature eight or nine new starters.
Arizona landed nine players who rank among the top 1,000 in the country, per 247Sports. Fisch said he expects to add"a few more" by the Feb. 1 winter signing day. One possibility is four-star linebacker Leviticus Su’a of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. Su’a is down to three finalists: Arizona, Stanford and UCLA. He said he will announce his decision during the Polynesian Bowl on Jan. 20.
