The Arizona Wildcats continue to fortify their defense for whenever football comes back.
The UA picked up another verbal commitment Sunday, this one coming from three-star athlete Logan Kraut of Maria Carrillo High School in Santa Rosa, California. A two-way player for now, Kraut told 247Sports that “most schools” are recruiting him to play a “safety/linebacker hybrid.” He is listed at 6-2, 190 pounds.
That fits Arizona’s team-building model for 2021. Ten of the Wildcats’ 14 commitments are projected to play defense, including seven ticketed for linebacker or safety. The UA lacks depth at those positions and could lose its entire starting linebacking corps depending on how the 2020 season plays out.
