2 more Arizona defensive backs opt out, per report

Anyone want to play in the secondary for the Arizona Wildcats?

Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star is reporting that junior cornerbacks McKenzie Barnes and Malik Hausman have opted out of the remainder of the 2020 season, adding to the growing list of UA defensive backs who have called it quits recently.

Neither Barnes of Hausman were available for Saturday’s 27-10 loss at UCLA, the Wildcats’ program-record 10th consecutive setback. Each played in Arizona’s first two games.

Barnes and Hausman are the fifth and sixth scholarship DBs to either opt out or leave the team in the past week.
