The Arizona Wildcats have added Richmond transfer Samari Springs to their roster.
The junior defensive back is the son of former NFL DB Shawn Springs, a 13-year veteran who was an All-American at Ohio State in the 1990s and later the No. 3 overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft. Springs’ grandfather, Ron, played running back in the NFL.
Samari Springs appeared in nine games for the Spiders last season, making eight starts at safety and cornerback. He made 44 tackles (3.5 for loss) and recorded three pass breakups and an interception.
