The Arizona Wildcats don’t have a lot of pass-catching options on the outside this season, and their depth just took another hit with senior receiver Cam Denson expected to medically retire from football, Rich Rodriguez announced Wednesday after practice.
The former four-star recruit from Tucson’s Salpointe Catholic High School entered the program with high expectations as a defensive back. Denson held offers to Oklahoma, Notre Dame, UCLA and Washington, among others, and was ranked the No. 15 corner in the nation.
In his first two seasons at corner, Denson registered 60 tackles and five interceptions, but was prone to giving up a big play downfield.
