Noah Fifita is the lynchpin of Arizona’s 2022 recruiting class.
The first true freshman passer Jedd Fisch and his staff have earned a commitment from, Fifita is set to arrive on campus in January and will have a real opportunity to earn the starting QB job.
But his presence is about more than that.
Fifita’s commitment did not not necessarily lead to those of fellow Servite teammates Keyan Burnett and Jacob Manu, or the (for now) near commitment of Tetairoa McMillan. At the same time, Arizona landing a highly-regarded QB who happens to be teammates with and close friends of some other top players the Wildcats are pursuing certainly doesn’t hurt.
