Wednesday was the start of the traditional signing period in college football, but other than a surprise commitment from 3-star Florida receiver Devin Hyatt there wasn’t much recruiting news for Arizona.
But UA coach Jedd Fisch did announce a significant addition to the program in the form of Duane Akina, who has joined the staff as a senior defensive assistant/secondary coach (translation: analyst).
“I believe we signed a 5-five star coach,” Fisch said of the 66-year-old Akina, who comes to Tucson after spending the previous eight seasons as Stanford’s defensive backs coach.
