Arizona football recruiting SitRep: Wildcats pick up their third commitment of the 2018 class

The ‘Cats land a solid defensive lineman plus other updates

This past week was a busy one for the Arizona Wildcats. Not only did they add their third commitment to their 2018 class, but the assistant coaches hit the road for the evaluation period.

There’s that and more so let’s dive into this week’s SitRep.


Adam Plant Jr.

On Wednesday, the Wildcats added a third member to their 2018 recruiting class. Bishop Gorman High School (Las Vegas, NV) 3-star defensive end Adam Plant Jr. gave Arizona his pledge.

Plant talked with his parents and the coaches and felt that Arizona was the best fit for him. He visited Tucson in early March and fell in love with the school and city.

The Wildcat defensive front is starting to take on a different look the past two recruiting cycles and it’s not a bad thing. They are getting bigger, faster, and lengthier... not to mention the talent level is increasing. In a couple of years, the d-line is most likely going to be a strength of the Arizona defense.

2018 Recruiting Notes

  • This past Monday started the Spring Evaluation period that runs until the end of May. That means that the Arizona assistant coaches made their way around the country visiting prospects and handing out offers. Scott Boone made his way through Utah and Southern California while Theron Aych went to Texas. Jahmile Addae made his way through Florida — mainly the Tampa area — which resulted in a few new offers. Expect more offers to come throughout the next month and possibly a commit or two.
  • Tyler Manoa (3-star defensive tackle from St. Francis High School (Mountain View, CA)) released a Top 5 on his Twitter that included Arizona along with California, BYU, Utah, and Colorado.
  • Nikko Remigio (4-star wide receiver from Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana, CA)) told Scout.com this week that Arizona is among five schools recruiting him the hardest.
  • With Adam Plant’s commitment, UA has a solid pipeline into Las Vegas. Don’t be surprised to see at least a couple of other players from Vegas call Tucson their next home when all is said and done.
