Arizona picks up Georgetown linebacker Cooper Blomstrom in the transfer portal

Arizona's first defensive addition in the transfer portal is Georgetown edge rusher Cooper Blomstrom. 

Blomstrom played defensive end at Georgetown, but is considered a linebacker and could replace Riley Wilson, who was also a standout defensive end-linebacker hybrid at the FCS level prior to transferring to Arizona. 

The 6-3, 245-pound Dover, New Hampshire native played in 31 games over three seasons for the Hoyas and recorded 117 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, 16 sacks, five forced fumbles and an interception. Blomstrom combined for 15 sacks his last two seasons at Georgetown.
