Rich Rodriguez and the Arizona Wildcats have received their first National Letter of Intent for the 2017 recruiting class in two-star junior college defensive tackle Sione Taufahema out of College of the Canyons (Santa Clarita, CA). Taufahema checks in at 6-foot-3, 310 pounds.
After receiving an offer on Nov. 28, Taufahema had to act fast on his recruitment. He held offers to Hawaii, UMass, and Montana State among others. He also felt like Arizona State and Nevada were both close to offering, and visited New Mexico prior to his commitment to Arizona.
