Arizona football: Preseason prognosticators love Scooby; mixed on UA

When Scooby Wright won nearly every major defensive award last season and was named a unanimous first-team All-America selection, it cemented his place as one of the best to play at Arizona.

It also guaranteed something else: The UA’s middle linebacker, who tormented opposing offenses last year, was in line to be a cover boy. May, June and July are the months for preseason college football magazines, and Wright is gracing the front of a lot of them.

Most preseason publications produce national and regional covers. Wright is on the cover of the Sporting News, Athlon and Lindy’s preseason regional covers.
