Arizona Wildcats football recruiting logo OLD DO NOT USE

The Arizona Wildcats football program is gaining momentum on and off the field.

Arizona has won two games in a row, and on Monday the Wildcats secured their third verbal commitment from a recruit in four days.

Haki Woods, a three-star defensive back from Pima College, announced his commitment to Arizona on Monday afternoon.

Woods is listed as a cornerback by the Aztecs, but at 6-foot-3 he could project to “Spur” safety a la Dane Cruikshank, who moved from corner to that spot this season.

Woods has 32 tackles, four pass breakups and two blocked kicks in six games for Pima.

Woods, who attended Washington High in South Bend, Ind., joins tailback Martell Irby and receiver/athlete Thomas Marcus as recent UA commits.

The Wildcats now have 15 verbals for the class of 2018. Here’s how that group stacks up:
