Bohls is the second player from San Clemente High School to have ties to Arizona's '21 recruiting. Three-star outside linebacker-safety hybrid Cole Batson committed to the UA in June, but opened up his recruitment last week and flipped to Boston College.ย
Although he's listed as a running back by 247Sports and Rivals, a program source told the Star that Bohls is expected to play outside linebacker at Arizona, a position that has been an emphasis for the Wildcats.ย
Thirteen of Arizona's 21-player class are defensive recruits, including five other linebackers: Jackson Bailey (Red Oak, Texas), Kolbe Cage (New Orleans), KC Ossai (Conroe, Texas), DJ Fryar (Steilacoom, Washington) and Matthew Weerts (Batavia, Illinois).ย
