Arizona football: Cal grad transfer Michael Barton to join Wildcats in 2016

In the pursuit of replacing Scooby Wright III, the Arizona Wildcats coaching staff has added a lot of Pac-12 experience in Cal graduate transfer Michael Barton on Sunday.

Barton played in 32 games over the past three seasons at Cal, totaling 169 tackles in that span. His best year was 2014, where he brought down 80 ball carriers, and also had a couple of pass deflections. His 80 tackles were the best on that Golden Bears team, and earned him an All-Pac-12 honorable mention.

Following that campaign, he was named a preseason second-team All-Pac-12 player by Phil Steele.
