Arizona Wildcats football coach Jedd Fisch signed his first official recruiting class, and it's a big one.
21 players are signed with the Wildcats as of Wednesday night, with one or two more potential signees later in the week.
The class, headlined by Keyan Burnett (4-star TE), Ephesians Prysock ( 4-star CB), Sterling Lane (4-star DE) and Noah Fifita (3-star QB), currently ranks 3rd in the Pac-12 and 35th nationally.
Fisch spoke highly of the class Wednesday and highlighted what specific players will bring to the program.

Still weighing QB options
Jedd Fisch asked about Arizona adding a transfer QB, says he wants players at all spots that can help win ‘immediately’. “If there is that, we would not pass that up at any spot. I feel good about our quarterback room right now… but we also have a QB room that’s beaten up.” pic.twitter.com/bO2jKIeGoA
