Two top Arizona football recruiting targets recently released their pared-down list down of their top colleges choices, and the Wildcats were on both of them.

One is four-star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who would be a huge pick-up, particularly with the recent decommitment of Braxton Burmeister. The other is four-star running back Eno Benjamin.

Tagovailoa, from Honolulu, is rated the No. 40 prospect overall by Scout.com and the No. 4 quarterback and he's considered one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation. His list also includes Alabama, Mississippi, USC, UCLA, Texas A&M, Washington and Hawaii.

Benjamin is a 5-10, 185 pound running back from Wylie Texas rated the 9th best running back in the country by Scout. His Top-10 also included Iowa, Michigan, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Northwestern, SMU, Houston, Vanderbilt and Missouri, while he also listed ASU, Boise State, Texas Tech, West Virginia and Iowa State as "still in".

Right now, Arizona's 2017 class has just two players in it — Catalina Foothills quarterback Rhett Rodriguez and four-star athlete Greg Johnson, from Los Angeles.
