Arizona is led by QB Jayden de Laura and a trio of talented wide receivers: Jacob Cowing, Dorian Singer, and Tetairoa McMillan. The 3-3 Wildcats still may not make a bowl game, but those four have completely transformed the face of this team which went 1-11 last season and 0-5 in the 2020 season.
By taking advantage of the transfer portal, Arizona landed the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year in de Laura, and arguably the nation’s best returning receiver in Cowing. Combine that with the major recruiting win of McMillan - a top-50 overall recruit last season - and a much improved Dorian Singer, and you get an impressive one year turnaround.
