Just days before the start of fall training camp, Arizona Wildcats players and coaches gathered at the Cole and Jeannie Davis Indoor Center for UA football media day on Wednesday.
UA first-year head coach Jedd Fisch and his staff, among several Wildcat players, met with local media to preview the upcoming 2021 season, and discuss other pertinent topics, including name, image and likeness (NIL), the three-way quarterback competition, the program's 97% vaccination rate and buying into the new culture.
Here's a few video clips from Arizona's media day:
