Arizona has been a bit busy with spring ball, but recruiting is constant and the Wildcats made a couple new offers in Washington Wednesday to a couple of the top prospects in the region. Here's a look at the new UA targets.

The Washington commit from Sammamish has been a Huskies pledge since last August, but he has continued to pick up more offers and take visits. He is certainly a prospect who is entertaining his other offers. Arizona State just offered him on Tuesday and now the Wildcats jumped in with an offer of their own today.

Kalepo picked up an offer from Missouri today as well. The three-star prospect's offer from Arizona now makes 10 of the 12 Pac-12 programs that have offered. Tennessee and Vanderbilt are a couple programs not in the West that have offered him.

The 6-foot-6 offensive lineman is cousins with Southern California-based offensive lineman Jonah Tauanu'u and the pair visited USC just a few weeks ago and the Trojans are making a play for the Washington commit.

Arizona is going to have an uphill battle with him, but now that there's an offer on the table things can move forward in his recruitment.

“I’m honestly just taking everything in and at the end of the day, doing what’s best for me,” he told TrojanSports.com recently.



Another Eastside Catholic standout who picked up an offer from Arizona Wednesday is the 2020 receiver who is starting to emerge as a real star in the sophomore class. The 6-foot-3 prospect already has some big offers on the table and Arizona is the newest school to jump in. Colorado, Notre Dame, Oregon, UCLA, USC and Utah are the other FBS schools that have offered him up to this point.

Washington has not offered, but an offer from the Huskies would certainly change some things early in his recruitment. Notre Dame is one school already getting talked about a lot with the sophomore receiver.
