The first of several commitments Arizona is expecting soon for its 2023 recruiting class officially pledged to the UA on Sunday, when New Mexico defensive lineman Tylen Gonzalez posted on Instagram Sunday afternoon his announcement to play for the Wildcats.
The 6-foot-6-inch, 250-pound Gonzalez, a Carlsbad, New Mexico native, becomes the first Land of Enchantment product to join the Wildcats since La Cueva's Calvin Allen in 2013.
Gonzalez, who is also a star basketball player at Carlsbad High School, becomes the fifth commit — and first defensive lineman — for Arizona's '23 recruiting class.
