Arizona is shut out no more. The Wildcats have landed their first 2025 commitment this evening, and he has Bay Area connections. Three-star tight end Kellan Ford has announced his pledge to the Wildcats this evening picking UA over Washington, Arizona State, Cal, Boston College, Oregon State and others. The staff's connections to the Bay Area certainly helped here, and now the Wildcats can get off an running.
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound recruit is the prototypical pass-catching tight end who should only get better by the time he arrives in Tucson. He has been moving quickly through the recruiting process and had official visits set up with a number of programs including Arizona. UW, ASU and Cal had also been in line to host him on official visits this spring and summer.
Like most high school tight ends, he'll need time to improve his blocking but he could be an early contributor in the passing game.
