One weak spot that has plagued the Arizona Wildcats in recent years has been the defensive line. Fans remember multiple instances of the D-line getting manhandled by opposing offensive linemen and just flat-out getting overpowered.

Enter Simote Pepa. The 3-star defensive tackle from Bingham High School in South Jordan, Utah really started to see his recruitment with the Wildcats pick up during the spring evaluation period in May.
