Arizona had another recruit announce his verbal commitment to the Wildcats on Wednesday, this one just won't be arriving until 2017.

Jessie Britt, an athlete from Auburndale, Florida, announced his commitment to the Wildcats on Wednesday afternoon. Britt is dealing with a heart condition and will grayshirt the upcoming season for the Wildcats and join the UA in January 2017.

So Britt won't take up a scholarship toward the 25-scholarship limit for 2016 and instead will count toward Arizona's 2017 recruiting class.

Britt is a 3-star running back, according to Scout.com, and was previously committed to Western Kentucky but backed out of that while on an official visit to Arizona recently. He committed to the Wildcats while safeties coach Jahmile Addae was visiting him on an in-home visit.
