The barrage of commits for Arizona's 2025 recruiting class on Sunday tacked on two more players: former Texas Tech cornerback commit Swayde Griffin and Los Angeles-area offensive lineman Sione Tohi. 

Griffin, was committed to Texas Tech for two weeks before switching to Arizona on Sunday, and Tohi joined Lubbock, Texas safety Allen Gant and three-star Chandler cornerback Dajon Hinton, who flipped his commitment from Arizona State, as additions to the Wildcats' 2025 recruiting class — and more are expected to be added this week. 

The 6-3, 310-pound Tohi is a three-star interior offensive lineman from Southern California powerhouse Mater Dei. Tohi is the latest player from Mater Dei to play for the Wildcats, joining defensive end Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei and linebacker Leviticus Su'a; former defensive tackle Jacob Kongaika, who's now at ASU, played at Mater Dei. Tohi is the first offensive lineman for Arizona's 2025 recruiting class.

Tohi selected Arizona over Alabama, LSU, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Tennessee, among others.  

Griffin is the son of former Texas defensive back Cedric Griffin, who played for Arizona defensive coordinator Duane Akina at Texas. Griffin was a part of the national championship team that dethroned back-to-back champion USC at the Rose Bowl in 2006. The younger Griffin is a 6-1, 185-pound standout at Lago Vista High School in Lago Vista, Texas, a suburb of Austin.   

The Wildcats currently have 11 commits for 2025.
