Another Fifita is coming to play football for the Arizona Wildcats.

Arizona landed a commitment from 2026 linebacker Dash Fifita, who is the younger brother of UA star quarterback Noah Fifita.

In a video that featured the older Fifita and former UA wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, Dash Fifita committed to Arizona over Sacramento State on Monday.

Dash Fifita is the third commit in Arizona’s 2026 recruiting class. The Wildcats have commitments from San Francisco offensive lineman Michael Langi and in-state wide receiver Hamisi Juma.

The 5-10, 185-pound Fifita is coming off a breakout season at Santa Margarita Catholic (now coached by former NFL quarterback Carson Palmer), where he was the Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the renowned Trinity League. Fifita had 100 tackles, 11 stops for loss and 3.5 sacks in 2024.

Fifita is the third commit in Arizona’s 2026 recruiting class. The Wildcats have commitments from San Francisco offensive lineman Michael Langi and in-state wide receiver Hamisi Juma.

National Signing Day for the 2025 recruiting class is Wednesday.
