Going into his first season as head coach, Jedd Fisch named six veterans that he inherited to be Arizona’s captains. Last year, the five captains chosen were a mix of new and old, with transfer quarterback Jalen de Laura joining four upperclassmen.
For 2023, the Wildcats’ captains are the most diverse—and largest—group yet.
The UA has chosen eight captains for this season, four on offense and four on defense. The offensive captains are de Laura, running back Mike Wiley, wide receiver Jacob Cowing and offensive lineman Jordan Morgan, while on defense it’s linebacker Jacob Manu, cornerbacks Treydan Stukes and Martell Irby and safety Gunner Maldonado.
