Wildcats strike first by offering scholarship to Salpointe's Bijan Robinson

Football recruiting for the Class of 2017 concludes in 10 days, but RichRod’s staff is working beyond that. Last week they offered a scholarship to Salpointe Catholic freshman back/receiver Bijan Robinson, who gained 727 all-purpose yards in his varsity debut and projects to be a 4-star prospect soon. Those who recruit Salpointe will soon target 6-foot 5-inch, 255-pound junior lineman Matteo Mele, who has impressive football bloodlines. He is the grandson of Arizona’s 1967 all-WAC lineman  Bill Lueck, who was the first-round draft pick of Vince Lombardi’s Packers in 1968. Lueck played eight NFL seasons. Mele is so versatile that he caught eight passes last fall, and has size to be a Pac-12 prospect.
