Arizona Wildcats land 3-star athlete Cole Batson for 2021

Arizona received its second commitment in June after three-star athlete Cole Batson selected the Wildcats over Washington State, San Diego State, Maryland Air Force, Boston College, Colorado State, Fresno State and UNLV, among others.

The 6-foot-4-inch, 190-pound Batson, who is entering his senior year at San Clemente High School in Southern California, announced his commitment on Twitter Sunday morning.

Batson is rated as the 83rd-best athlete of the 2021 recruiting cycle, per 247Sports. Batson is listed as a safety on Rivals.com, which has been a point of emphasis for the coaching staff after the position was depleted in the offseason.
