Kevin Singleton, Arizona’s standout linebacker of the late 1980s and early 1990s who overcame leukemia to return to the UA lineup, has linked up with the son of Larry Smith, the man who recruited Singleton to Arizona out of New Jersey 30 years ago. Singleton is now the linebackers coach for Tempe McClintock High School, coached by Corby Smith, Larry’s son. Smith and Singleton will make their McClintock debut Friday against Casa Grande Vista Grande.
