Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona offers Asante Samuel Jr.

You now feel really old

There are always little things that come around that make one feel old. Well, here is another one of those instances. The Arizona Wildcats offered Asante Samuel Jr. a scholarship on Friday. The younger Samuel is a composite four-star cornerback in the 2018 class out of Fort Lauderdale. He has 36 offers, and already has a top ten, which Arizona is obviously not on since they are his first new offer since May. The older Samuel played in the NFL from 2003-13, and had 51 career INTs, six of which he returned for TDs. This is mostly to remind us how old we all are and not anything of note for Arizona in the future
