The 2021 spring game featured Arizona greats Tedy Bruschi and Rob Gronkowski as honorary coaches. Gronkowski, who returned to the UA for the first time in a decade, set a then-world record after catching a football dropped 600 feet from a helicopter hovering over Arizona Stadium.

During the spring game, "Gronk" and Fisch interacted with fans who attended and doused them with water from a hose and water balloons. 

After coming off a 1-11 season in 2021, Arizona's spring game this year will include most of the players signed to Arizona's 2022 recruiting class, which is widely rated as one of the top classes in the Pac-12. Notable recruits on display in the 2022 spring game includes All-American wide receiver Tetairoa "T-Mac" McMillan, All-American running back Rayshon "Speedy" Luke, four-star tight end Keyan Burnett and quarterback Noah Fifita, among others.

Arizona's latest additions in the transfer portal in quarterback — and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year — Jayden de Laura (Washington State), wide receiver Jacob Cowing (UTEP), defensive end Hunter Echols (USC) and linebacker Anthony Solomon (Michigan), among others, are also beginning their Arizona careers this spring.
