Arizona football added to its coaching staff this week with the hiring of Josh Omura as coordinator of high school recruiting.
Omura arrives from Washington State, where he spent one year in a similar role. Omura is a Honolulu, Hawaii native who spent four years as Hawaii’s director of recruiting and operations.
He replaces Ryan Partridge, who followed former UA defensive coordinator Don Brown to UMass as wide receivers coach.
Omura’s hire fits in with a Polynesian push among Arizona’s coaching staff; the Wildcats hired Johnny Nansen as defensive coordinator and Jason Kaufusi to coach linebackers.
