NO. 4: DE-LB KYLAN WILBORN

Related Topics: Tenth grade, Wildcat

Ht/Wt/Yr: 6-2, 245, sophomore

Comment: Entering last season, Wilborn wasn’t among Arizona’s most heralded incoming freshmen. You could argue he wasn’t even close.

Neither 247Sports nor Rivals ranked Wilborn in the top half of the Wildcats’ 2017 class. He proved everybody wrong.

Starting every game and playing an inordinate number of snaps, Wilborn led Arizona with 7.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. The latter led the Pac-12 and was one more than the rest of the Wildcats combined to produce.

Given Wilborn’s propensity to make impact plays — and the likelihood that he’ll be even better as a sophomore — you might wonder why he’s only No.
