The Arizona Wildcats were hit hard by injuries at cornerback in 2018, turning what was supposed to be a solid group into a young and inexperienced one.
Arizona’s top corner, senior Jace Whittaker, suffered a shoulder injury which kept him out for all but one game. Preseason injuries to walk-on Malcolm Holland and fourth-year contributor Sammy Morrison also left the group thin.
Grades also impacted Arizona’s CB group. Three-star recruit Jhevon Hill never made it to campus after he failed to qualify, while sophomore Tony Wallace also failed to qualify after what looked to be a promising career in the few games he played as a true freshman.
