The next Scooby? Arizona Wildcats LB Colin Schooler just wants to be the best version of himself

To be fair, the Scooby Wright comparisons are completely unfair. They are a media creation (guilty as charged) and wholly premature.

Wright was the best defensive player in college football in 2014 — the sixth unanimous All-American in Arizona Wildcats history. Colin Schooler — who has drawn those comparisons to Wright — has played in three games.

But when you’re an under-recruited linebacker from California wearing a UA uniform and displaying a knack for making game-changing plays early in your career, well, certain associations are inevitable. So it goes with Schooler, a freshman who already has made an impact.
