Three-star safety Christian Young commits to Arizona Wildcats; could DT Noah Jefferson be back in mix?

The Arizona Wildcats continue to stockpile safeties and make inroads in the state of Texas.

Arizona received a verbal commitment Wednesday from Christian Young, a three-star safety from Foster High in Richmond, Texas.

Young, who recently de-committed from Iowa State, tweeted that he is “100 percent committing” to the UA.

Young is the fifth defensive back in Arizona’s 2018 class, which currently consists of 17 players. Four of the five are projected to play safety, which might be the deepest position on the current roster.
