Houston Cougars wide receiver Keith Corbin (2) tries to catch a pass against Arizona Wildcats cornerback Tim Hough (8) during the first half of a college football game at TDECU Stadium, Saturday, September 8, 2018, in Houston.

Arizona Wildcats cornerback Tim Hough is no longer with the team, head coach Kevin Sumlin announced Saturday night. 

Sumlin was asked about Hough's absence following Arizona's 31-30 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl.

Sumlin didn't specify why Hough was no longer with the team. 

Hough became a graduate transfer from UNLV over the summer with hopes of adding depth and experience to a slim cornerback unit at Arizona. Jace Whittaker and Lorenzo Burns were the returning starters, but the reserves included walk-on Azizi Hearn and McKenzie Barnes.

Whittaker has missed all but one game this season with an injury, while Burns missed Saturday's game with an injury, Sumlin said.

Hough appeared in all seven games leading up to Saturday and had 22 tackles and three pass breakups.
