If there is one defensive group for the Arizona Wildcats that is going through a major overhaul, it’s the linebacker corps. The group has lost its top tacklers and added a new coach.
Defensive coordinator Marcel Yates coached the linebackers last year before moving over to cornerbacks for the 2017 season. His replacement, former Nevada defensive coordinator Scott Boone, has made a positive impression on the group so far.
Key Additions: Gavin Robertson, Joshua Brown, Colin Schooler, Anthony Pandy, Tony Fields II, Jose Ramirez, Jalen Harris
Another massive change has been the loss of three of the top five tacklers from a season ago.
