Sonoran Hot Reads: Four Arizona football players recognized by Pac-12

Only one second-team specialist this year

The Pac-12 released its first and second all-conference football teams on Tuesday, and of the 56 guys on the first and second teams, there is only one member of the Arizona Wildcats on there, and that is punter Drew Riggleman. Riggleman was named second-team punter, behind Utah's Tom Hackett. Arizona did have three honorable mentions. They were Reggie Gilbert, William Parks, and Casey Skowron... all seniors. This is also a small number compared to all the other schools (only Colorado had fewer - 2).

I appreciate the ALL PAC-12 honorable mention.. Congratulations to everybody else who made 1st, 2nd, 3rd teams.. Well deserved..
