Another Fifita could make his way to Tucson to play for the Arizona Wildcats.

Arizona offered 2026 linebacker Dash Fifita, the younger brother of Arizona star quarterback Noah Fifita, on Sunday, he announced on his social media pages.  

The younger Fifita is a junior at Santa Margarita High School in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. He leads the Eagles with 26 tackles and one stop for loss in three games this season. Fifita transferred to Santa Margarita after starting his high school career at national powerhouse Mater Dei. 

The Wildcats have one commit for their '26 recruiting class: three-star San Francisco offensive lineman Michael Langi.  

No. 20 Arizona (2-0) faces No. 14 Kansas State (2-0) at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas on Friday at 5 p.m. on Fox.
