Arizona football recruiting: Junior college defensive lineman Matt Leo commits to Wildcats

The Arizona Wildcats added a much needed defensive lineman on Friday and their 26th commitment in the 2017 class. Matt Leo, a 6-foot-7, 265 pound Australian, who plays for Arizona Western College, gave the 'Cats his pledge.

A rugby player by trade, Leo started playing football last year. However, he does have the tools to be a productive football player and he has a ton of upside. His other offers were from Iowa State and UCF, with Iowa State making a huge push for him.

He does intend to graduate in December and enroll at Arizona in January.
