Francisco Nelson to Arizona: LB recruit signs with Wildcats, spurns FAU

Francisco Nelson visited Tucson as late as he possibly could, taking in the Arizona Wildcats experience the weekend before Signing Day.

That experience made him flip his commitment from FAU to Arizona, and now he will be a Wildcat in the fall.

Nelson announced his commitment to Arizona towards the end of the basketball game against Oregon State, so his timing is going to need a little bit of work moving forward.

While he is listed as a strong side defensive end, Nelson will be coming to Arizona as a linebacker. Which makes sense, given that he only weighs about 215 pounds.
