Who he is: One of Arizona’s first commitments of the 2017 class. In a hectic recruiting cycle for UA, he’s had one of the quietest recruitments.
How he fits: Wilborn will likely play the “stud” position as a sort of defensive end-linebacker hybrid. There is ample playing time available all across Arizona’s defense, so if Wilborn adjusts quickly to the college level in fall camp, he can compete for playing time.
He said it: “I really liked the way the coaches talked to me. They said they had a need at the position and think I’m the man to do it. I can come in and compete for a starting position on the first day. That’s definitely something I’m looking forward to.” — Wilborn
