Of the 23 players Arizona signed for 2022, its best recruiting class in recent memory, nearly all of them were locked in back in December. The notable exception was offensive lineman Wendell Moe, who didn’t commit to the Wildcats until the end of April.
That’s because Moe, a 3-star prospect from Long Beach, Calif., was set to play at FCS Morgan State in Baltimore until that program had a coaching change. Tyrone Wheatley, a former star running back at Michigan and in the NFL, left in February to be the Denver Broncos’ running backs coach under new head coach Nathaniel Hackett.
