Current Big 12 recruiting ranking: 13th out of 16

After winning 10 games in 2023, then-coach Jedd Fisch left for Washington and Brent Brennan left San Jose State for Tucson. But even if quarterback Noah Fifita and probable first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan, the best Arizona player in many years, the Wildcats stumbled to 4-8 last season, including an embarrassing 49-7 loss to end the season.

Recruiting has not really taken off yet for the 2026 class, either. Arizona has four commitments, all three-stars, but there isn’t a marquee player in the bunch yet. However, there are some skilled players including electric WR Caleb Smith.

Landing four-star defensive tackle Keytrin Harris, who loves position coach Joe Salave’a, would be a major addition but Arizona needs a spark for Brennan to stay off the hot seat.

Level of concern: Medium
