Arizona Wildcats land JuCo DL Alex Navarro-Silva for 2021

Arizona picked up another commitment for its 2021 recruiting class Saturday morning when junior-college defensive lineman Alex Navarro-Silva pledged to the UA via Twitter. Navarro-Silva was primarily recruiting by UA outside linebackers coach Andy Buh. 

After talking to coach Buh and headcoach Sumlin I have decided to commit to The University of Arizona. Big shout out to the Don Lugo family, and the RCC family. I’m blessed to be in the situation I am in because of my parents and the man up above. #beardown pic.twitter.com/LJZ93kL6gl
