If the 2020 football season happens this fall, the Arizona Wildcats could be perilously thin at a critical position.
Linebacker Tony Fields II, a three-year starter, announced Wednesday that he plans to leave the UA as a graduate transfer.
Fields started every game over the past three years for the Wildcats – 37 straight – at the “Will” linebacker spot. He accumulated 287 tackles, including 17 for losses and 8.5 sacks. He defended six passes and had two interceptions.
“Being a Wildcat has been an honor as well as one of the best experiences of my life,” Fields tweeted Wednesday.
