Arizona football recruiting SitRep: The Wildcats land their fifth commit of 2018

The Wildcats landed one of the top linebackers in the West for 2018

Let’s dive into it with this week’s SitRep.

Issaiah Johnson

We will start off with the new Wildcat addition. The three-star linebacker from Los Alamitos, California gave Arizona his pledge Monday night. His announcement came hours after linebackers coach Scott Boone made a stop by his high school.

Back in April, Johnson stated that he had high interest in the Wildcats. He stated that he liked how Arizona uses its freshmen and that he could see the field early.

Johnson is a nice addition to the defense. He has speed and great instincts that he will bring to Tucson next year. He projects at inside linebacker, mainly the Mike backer.

Steve McIntosh

One recruit to keep an eye on as this cycle plays out is the 3-star DB from Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California. McIntosh is letting the process play out and enjoying the experience. His offer came about when defensive coordinator Marcel Yates made his way through Southern California and visited his high school. The offer was a complete surprise as he hadn’t spoken to the staff before then.

McIntosh does have high interest in Arizona and he plans on visiting Tucson in the near future.

Recruiting Notes

• Christian Young (3-star CB from Foster HS in Richmond, TX) announced he will be releasing his Top 10 on June 16th. The Wildcats have done well so far in this recruitment and I would be shocked if they didn’t make the list. It is recruiting so strange things happen.

Current Team Notes

• Redshirt sophomore tight end Brion Anduze and redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Darrell Cloy Jr. announced that they would be medically retiring from football. Anduze suffered a gruesome knee injury last spring and Cloy was redshirted last year for an injury that didn’t go away. Both players will continue interacting with the team. Anduze will work with the strength staff and Cloy will be working with the recruiting department.
