The coaching staff put a big emphasis on in-state recruiting for this 2017 class and among their signees is Bryce Gilbert, a 6-foot-5, 230 pound tight end out of Higley High School (Gilbert, AZ). He graduated early and is enrolled in classes at Arizona now, able to get a jump start on his college career.
Gilbert is a three-star prospect ranked No. 886 in the nation and 126 among all wide receivers. He checks in at No. 18 among all Arizona high school prospects.
One of the early summer commits, Gilbert ended his process early largely due to his relationship with tight ends coach Charlie Ragle.
