Arizona has secured a commitment from Northwestern freshman offensive lineman Alexander Doost today. The Phoenix native did not play for the Wildcats in his first season, but the current UA staff likes the 6-foot-7, 295-pound tackle quite a bit. If the name sounds familiar, it is because Doost was a regular visitor at Arizona during his recruitment and he became a priority target for Brennan Carroll and the staff during the last recruiting cycle.
He ended up pulling the trigger on a spring commitment to Northwestern but Arizona has previously built a connection and relationship with him making it an easy transition. Doost entered the portal just a few days ago and didn't get an opportunity to take a visit, so that previous bond with him certainly helps here.
Doost has Tucson connections as well with his mom's side of the family all being from the city. His grandpa even helped with construction at Arizona Stadium.
It was amazing, because I was born and raised in Tucson,” Doost previously said after a visit last year. “My whole family is from there, on my mom’s side. So, it was great getting to stay with them for the weekend, and talking to them about this they were so excited to hear I was going to U of A again. As with the staff, of course they’re all so nice and they’re personal. They do everything they can to make you feel welcome at the school, and that’s what I admire so much about U of A.”
He'll have four seasons of eligibility left with Arizona.
Here's a link back to a previous story discussing Doost's connections to Tucson and Arizona.
