While the Arizona Wildcats’ staff is going to have to work on maintaining the 2017 class, the 2018 class is starting to get into the swing as coaches start taking visits to high schools to check out the prospects.

Jim Michalczik was checking out Sumner Senior High School (Sumner, WA) when he came across three-star Ben Wilson, a 6-foot-2, 215 pound inside linebacker ranked 24th in the nation at his position.

Wilson was the anchor of the Sumner Senior defense, reaching the semifinals of the 4A Washington State Playoffs. Wilson led the entire state of Washington in tackles with 201 total, adding 8.
