The Arizona Wildcats are down to 26 commitments after they decided to part ways with 2-star defensive tackle Elijah Watson. While a huge concern is the general size and overall talent on the defensive line, it gives the staff more flexibility with that one scholarship freed up.
To get more immediate help on defense, Arizona has been looking at the junior college route, which has been extremely hit or miss.
The staff has looked to Arizona Western College (Yuma, AZ), the No. 2 ranked junior college program in the nation. They have already secured one commitment from the program in 3-star defensive end Matt Leo, and might be looking to add another defensive piece.
