Three-star Los Angeles-area cornerback Josh Tuchek decommitted from the Arizona Wildcats' 2025 recruiting class and flipped to UNLV. 

Tuchek, a standout at Millikan High School in Long Beach, California, the same program that produced current UA star cornerback Tacario Davis, becomes the second decommit this month, joining four-star Dallas-area wide receiver Terry Shelton. 

Tuchek committed to the UA in June and selected the Wildcats over Washington, Michigan State, Arizona State, Cal and Minnesota, among others. The 6-1, 175-pound Tuchek is rated by 247Sports.com as the 101st-best cornerback nationally for the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Arizona has four defensive backs committed for 2025: Chandler cornerback Dajon Hinton, Dallas-area cornerback Gianni Edwards, Austin, Texas cornerback Swayde Griffin and safety Coleman Patmon.

Arizona's 20-player '25 recruiting class ranks seventh in the Big 12, according to 247Sports.com

The early signing period is in less than two weeks on Dec. 4.
