Cornerback depth, versatility quietly becoming Arizona’s strength

The Arizona Wildcats had a less than ideal cornerback situation last season.

Position coach Demetrice Martin was hit hard and early in his first season. Jhevon Hill failed to qualify and make it campus, Tony Wallace did not qualify after one season, Tim Hough was kicked off the team after a few short weeks, and senior leader Jace Whittaker was out for the entire season after suffering a pair of injuries.

Martin worked with what he had, threw some true freshmen out there, converted some safeties and put out a solid group considering the circumstances.
