Rundown: Arizona needed to find a replacement for Tyler Loop, and the Wildcats looked to a former Southern Arizona player for the solution. Ian Wagner is from Sierra Vista but played out his career at Illinois State, but he will return home to close out his time in college with the Wildcats. The UA special teams group thinned out after the season, so finding a kicker was critical for the staff and new special teams coordinator Craig Naivar during the spring portal season. Wagner made 25 of his 36 field goal attempts in 32 games with the Redbirds. He was 11 for 15 on field goals in 2024 with a long of 47 yards.
