Rundown: Arizona offers have continued to roll out today as the busy week for the Wildcats continues to begin the summer. Today the Wildcats decided to offer another offensive lineman as Dickinson High School (Kemah, Texas) added to his long list of offers by adding another Pac-12 program into the mix. Offensive line coach Kyle DeVan spoke with the 6-foot-4 lineman from the coastal city outside Houston and it led to an offer from UA as the program continues to look for options along the offensive line.

UA is going to continue being active in its pursuit of offensive linemen and already has one on board for the 2021 class with California center JT Hand giving the program his commitment about a month ago. Right now I would expect the Wildcats to take at least a few more in the class before all is said and done.

Virginia Tech offered Boone back in February and it became the first Power Five program to do so. Since then more schools have come on board with Purdue, Mississippi State and Colorado all joining the fray as well. Arizona gives Boone another option in the Pac-12 but the Wildcats will have to play a little bit of catchup at this stage.

Mississippi State has gained some steam behind the scenes in his recruitment after offering him last month, but there is still time for UA to try and make a run at earning his pledge. Up to this point he has been clear that he wants to take visits before coming to a decision, so if the recruiting dead period comes to an end by August the Wildcats should have an opportunity to get him on campus at some point this season.

There's a lot to like about Boone as a prospect. He has good size and doesn't have bad weight plus he has some natural athleticism that should help him at the next level as he finds a permanent position. He plays right tackle at the high school level, but because of his skill set and size it wouldn't be a shock to see him moved inside in college.
