Q&A with Arizona defensive line coach Iona Uiagalelei

Iona Uiagalelei will be the Arizona Wildcats’ defensive line coach in 2018, moving to Tucson after many years in California.

Uiagalelei was a defensive coach at Mt. San Antonio Community College in Walnut, California for 16 years. He’s most known for coaching Seahawks star Bruce Irvin during his stint at Mt. SAC.

He spoke to the media for the first time Thursday, and here is what he had to say.

How’s your first spring at Arizona?

It’s going fantastic. For me it’s a little change from Junior College but everything else is pretty much the same in terms of the football, drills and practice plan and everything.
