Recruiting: Arizona Wildcats' 2019 football commitments
- Updated
Stay up to date with the future of Arizona Wildcats football.
UA football's 2019 recruiting class
UpdatedArizona finished the 2018 season with a 5-7 record, which means the Wildcats won't play in a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. However, that hasn't stopped Kevin Sumlin and the coaching staff from hitting the recruiting trail.
With the first year of the Sumlin era officially in the books, the 2019 class will be the first group entirely recruited by the new regime. The class so far has been a blend of size and experience, mostly from Texas and California — and one from Europe — with a sprinkle of junior college prospects.
Here's a look at Arizona's growing 2019 recruiting class along with highlight film and their national position ranking per 247sports.com.
