Arizona LB Tony Fields II using new coach, old play to build toward future

This is the third edition of spring practice for Tony Fields II, and like the first two he is being guided by a different Arizona Wildcats position coach. For 2019 it’s John Rushing, who last season handled Arizona’s safeties but was moved to linebackers while defensive coordinator Marcel Yates works with safeties.

Fields’ breakout freshman season came under the guidance of Scott Boone, who was not retained by Kevin Sumlin when he took over the program last year.

While not ideal, Fields has put a positive spin on the coaching turnover and hopes it will help him rebound from what he felt was a less-than-impressive sophomore campaign.
