Now that Garin Justice is able to get going with Arizona as part of the staff he is getting a head start on recruiting. I mentioned in the last couple days that it wouldn't be a shock to see Arizona come out with a new wave of offers along the offensive line as Justice gets his chance to put his imprint on the class. There was a reason I said that and now the Wildcats are starting to look at some other options along the offensive line.

Justice made two offers today both to recruits he was looking at while he was at FAU.

I'll start with three-star offensive tackle Doug Johnson who has an impressive offer list. The 6-foot-6 offensive lineman just picked up a Nebraska offer in the last few days and today Arizona jumped on board with an offer from Justice. Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Louisville, Mississippi State and Utah are some of the other offers on his list. A lot of those offers came early in this year and considering he has not committed yet and just based on what I'm hearing not many of those are offers I would necessarily consider "committable" as things stand now ... the Nebraska offer is real and he'll take a visit out there next month so the Wildcats will have a small window to get him on campus. He needs some work, but he has good mobility and I could see him being a big help in the running game when he gets on the field.



Glover is someone Justice seems to like quite a bit and didn't want to wait long to offer, so it got done today. These are strategic moves by Arizona offering when they'll be on national TV so it gives both prospects a chance to watch them tonight. The Vienna, Georgia standout offensive lineman checks in at 6-foot-4 and has Oregon State as the lone Pac-12 offer on his list. Mississippi State, UCF, FAU, Jacksonville State, Middle Tennessee and Troy are his other offers.

Just watching his film he relies a lot on his natural strength right now, but you can see what the coaching staff sees in terms of his athleticism and what it can build around once he arrives to campus. He looks to be a bit more of a project, but he has the natural ability for the staff to work with. I like his ability to get to the second level.
