Arizona Wildcats quarterback Jordan McCloud spoke to local media Tuesday afternoon at the Lowell Stevens Facility, detailing how he's trying to grow from his five-interception performance against Oregon.
McCloud, a redshirt sophomore who transferred from the University of South Florida, was named Arizona's starting QB moving forward by head coach Jedd Fisch following the 41-19 loss to the Ducks.
McCloud spoke about his comfortability level in UA's offense, how he's moving past the Oregon game and the advice his older brother has given him.

After speaking to Arizona QB Jordan McCloud today, it's easy to see why he's well-liked in the building. Has a real positive energy and maturity about him. Would expect him to respond well after a promising but flawed first start as a Wildcat.
