Troy mentioned this the other day, and now it is public. Arizona has added an early commitment from 2026 offensive line recruit Michael “Bobo” Langi from San Francisco-Archbishop Riordan tonight.

He’s the brother of 2025 target Peter Langi who took an official visit over the weekend. Michael is going to see his recruitment continue to expand but it is a nice early pickup for UA and one that should stick if his brother follows suit here in the current cycle.

Penn State, Colorado and ASU are some of his early offers.

Arizona has added its third offensive lineman of the 2025 cycle as Kapolei, Hawaii prospect Javian Goo has announced his pledge to the Wildcats after a recent official visit. The 6-foot-4, 285-pound recruit picked UA over offers from Hawaii, Oregon State, San Diego State and the service academies plus others. All three of Arizona's offensive line commits in the class are Polynesian as the staff continues to look to build that pipeline with prospects from around the country.

Hey guys, I wanted to jump in a share some interesting news I received when talking to three-star lineman Peter Langi, who took a visit to Tucson this past weekend.

While talking to Langi, he told me that his brother Michael Langi was on the visit to Tucson as well. Michael is a three-star guard for the 2026 class.

During the visit Michael has chosen to commit to Arizona giving the Wildcats their first 2026 commit. The announcement will be made soon.

North Forney, Texas cornerback Gianni Edwards is the eighth commitment in the last two days for Arizona as he has now announced his commitment to the Wildcats following an official visit. UA now well on its way toward building is 2025 class with 15 commitments overall. Edwards picked up early offers from Colorado and Maryland while SMU was another school on his offer list. UA has been in the driver's seat for quite a while now.

Arizona has landed a commitment from 2025 in-state athlete Dajon Hinton today following an official visit with the Wildcats. Hinton, who has his roots back in Tucson, had been committed to Arizona State since April. The Chandler-Hamilton rising senior plays on both sides of the ball but is expected to play in the secondary for the Wildcats and Chip Viney.

Arizona has hauled in a commitment from 2025 Hughson, California standout quarterback Robert McDaniel today. The Wildcats had him in for a visit and he backed off his pledge just a couple days ago before announcing the flip on Sunday. McDaniel committed to the Golden Bears in March, but he has seen his stock rise over the last couple months.

He's got a big arm and doesn't turn the ball over very much at all. In his career he has passed for 4,971 yards and 62 touchdowns including a career-best 2,839 yards and 33 touchdowns in his junior season last year. He threw just four interceptions on on 304 pass attempts in 2023.

Recent Arizona official visitor Muizz Tounkara officially released his top three schools today and the Wildcats are among the final group alongside Kansas and Wisconsin. He's visited all three over the last three weeks and will now settle in to make his choice public on July 13. He had previously set a visit to Arkansas for next week, but that will no longer be taking place as he focuses on his top group.

Rivals national analyst Marshall Levenson spoke with Tounkara about his top three and you can read the full article above.

Arizona is back to hosting visitors this weekend, and there is a solid group headed to Tucson. Still trying to fully confirm everyone on the list (there's already been one who canceled his trip) but most of the recruits headed to UA this weekend I've been able to confirm.

Big 6-foot-4 Texas wide receiver Terry Shelton is headed to Arizona after becoming the fourth commitment of the week for the Wildcats just moments ago. The three-star prospect from Irving-Ranchview ultimately came down to UA, Illinois, Kansas and Boston College. He is the first non-athlete receiver recruit to join the class and the seventh commitment overall for the Wildcats' 2025 class.

Sean Robinson talked with me last night and said he planned to announce his commitment today but was holding off until Arizona gave him the video to post. His mom has already posted a couple times about it, so I went ahead and just wrote the story even though he has yet to put it out there himself.

Arizona being willing to let him play multiple positions is what sold him as well as the Wildcats making him feel completely welcome on the visit. He is originally from Oakland and his mom has Bay Area connections as well, so his whole family hit it off with Brent Brennan making for a perfect fit.

You can read the full update above.

"A lot of the schools that I have, it's either me playing straight linebacker or them wanting me to play tight end. I talked to coach (Duane) Akina, coach (Joe) Seumalo, coach Brennan, coach (Bobby) Wade, coach (Alonzo) Carter, everybody. They just want me to be on the team, and they will allow me to start at any position and I like that. They have so much experience coaching, if they really want you that bad why would you really go somewhere else?"

One of the major official visitors from this past weekend was four-star RB Wesley Yarbrough, who has announced his commitment to Arizona on Twitter today.


Here's Rivals' Marshall Levenson's story on Yarbrough with quotes from the versatile back:

Phoenix-Mountain Pointe defensive lineman Kaleb Jones was the in-state visitor for the Wildcats over the weekend. The staff did a great job of making him fell welcome, and now he's close to making his choice public.

Four-star running back Wesley Yarbrough was one of Arizona's official visitors this weekend. The 2025 prospect from Crosby, Texas told me tonight that he is not taking any other visits and will have a decision made "really soon" now that he's had a chance to make the trek out to Tucson. The Wildcats are in a great position with the 5-foot-10 prospect, and you can read about his weekend trip to Tucson at the link below.

"Our connection is really strong, and we just naturally click."

Arizona has landed a commitment from three-star cornerback Joshua Tuchek today. The Long Beach (Calif.) Millikan recruit had Michigan State heavily involved and also holds offers from ASU, Cal, San Diego State and several others. The Wildcats have made him a priority and he now is the latest member of the 2025 class. Will be the first of several commitments to come out of this weekend's visits.

Have a recruiting roundup article for you all as things begin to heat up on that side for the Wildcats. This weekend, Arizona will host one of its top targets as 2025 wing Tounde Yessoufou makes the trek out to Tucson with his mom for the first time. He's been on campus previously and understands how much of a priority he is for Tommy Lloyd's staff, but getting an opportunity to make the trip back to UA with his mom is going to be big.

USC is making a strong push and Kentucky is becoming a bigger factor as well. Still, UA has established itself as a top contender making it an important couple days for the staff.

I also have updates with top targets Xavion Staton and Cameron Holmes plus the latest on 2025 five-star forward Will Riley a couple weeks out from his decision.

Hey guys, we will be starting a series breaking down Arizona's roster position by position leading up to training camp.

Up first is the linebacking position and our Aidan Wohl has you covered with his breakdown of the group:

Hey guys, I've been talking to people inside the athletics department and wanted to share with you that this is going to be a important summer for new A.D. Desireé Reed-Francois when it comes to meeting donors and boosters that could help the department in not just football, but all sports as well.

Reed-Francois has already had a meeting with the Stevens family during the spring game.

Not sure how the meeting went, but it is of high importance that she is able to build a relationship with that family.

Also, Arte Moreno hasn't donated for quick some time, since the firing of Mike Stoops. I'm not sure when he meeting with Moreno will be, but that is another booster that Arizona needs.

Finally, one booster (wasn't told the name) is waiting for president Robert Robbins to officially step down. When that happens he will receive a phone call from Arizona.

Hey guys, I wanted to jump in and share an interview I had with three-star defensive end Josiah Hammond, who took an official visit to Arizona in early May.

I asked him questions about his visit, about his recruitment and his time table on his decision. Below is the Q&A of the interview with Hammond.


Q&A:


Q: Who was the coach that started recruiting you to Arizona?

A: The coach that started recruiting me was coach [Ty] Nichols. Nichols and I have built a great relationship kind of like a big brother and little brother relationship and he’s my guy!

Q: When you first got to Tucson what did you think about the city? And what stood out to you?

A: That was my first time in Tucson and I loved it and definitely plan on trying to get back out there before my commitment.

Q: What stood out about Arizona's campus?

A: My favorite part of the facilities was definitely the weight room it’s the perfect size and they have all the right equipment needed to be successful!

Q: What player on Arizona's roster did you connect the best with?

A: I definitely bonded with Chubba Ma'ae on the team being there was like being around my family at home.

Q: What was it like meeting coach Duane Akina?

A: I didn’t really get to see coach Akina this much but when I saw him it was really good vibes that I got from him.

Q: How do you see yourself fitting into Arizona's system?

A: Arizona's system is a lot like my high school system, so I could see myself fitting in very well.


At the end of the interview, Hammond said he really didn't have a ranking system for the team's he has visited yet. However, he said that he expects to make his decision come early July as to where he will be going.

As Matt had stated a few days ago, Jamari Phillips has officially reopened his recruitment and will no longer be coming to Tucson:
