Arizona Wildcats wide receiver and special teams standout Thomas Reid III is a walk-on no more. On Wednesday, Reid announced on Twitter that he has received a full-ride scholarship at the UA.ย 

ย 

The 6-foot-2-inch, 205-pound redshirt junior from Chesapeake, Virginia, was an All-Pac-12 honorable mention as a special teams player in 2018. Reid was also named Arizonaโ€™s Special Teams MVP in 2018. He served as a blocker on both kickoff and punt return coverages while also garnering four tackles on the UAโ€™s punt unit.ย 

Reid is the latest walk-on to earn a scholarship in 2019. Starting center Josh McCauley was rewarded a scholarship in April.

The Wildcats have a bye this week, but will return to host NAU on Sept. 7.
