The Arizona Wildcats 2018 roster has been released and sophomore cornerback Tony Wallace was not listed and has left the program. It has been rumored that academics are the cause.
Wallace, a former three-star recruit, was forced to sit out his sophomore and junior year of high school because of grades, dipping below the 2.0 GPA minimum requirement. This in turn hurt his offer list, as grades are a major part of recruiting, and it gave him little film to show coaches.
Former safeties coach Jahmile Addae recruited Wallace out of Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas, as well his Freshman All-American linebacker Tony Fields II and redshirt freshman offensive tackle Edgar Burrola.
