Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III (33) tries to get to Washington running back Dwayne Washington (12) while being held back by Washington offensive lineman Colin Tanigawa (64) in the third quarter of their Pac-12 game at Arizona Stadium, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014, Tucson, Ariz.

Scooby's athleticism doesn't get enough credit 

Prior to UA All-American linebacker Scooby Wright beginning two months of summer workouts, he went home to Windsor, California, for a break. He went to his old high school, Cardinal Newman, to play some basketball. Someone shot a video of Scooby dunking; he did so with almost no effort. So much for the idea that Scooby is a plugger who relies on toughness and instincts to play football. His athleticism is underrated.
