2018 3-star DE Adam Plant signs with Arizona

Get to know Arizona’s new defensive lineman

The Arizona Wildcats signed a big time defensive end Wednesday in high 3-star Adam Plant.

Since it is official now, Plant was a silent signee in December but did not announce it. He wanted to officially announce with the rest of his teammates at Bishop Gorman. I confirmed it over a month ago, but out of respect for Plant, I gave him my word not to say anything.

My thoughts: Plant is underrated in my opinion. His size and speed cannot be overstated. He is also strong, able to overpower his blocker if needed, but he also knows how to use his hands to shed blocks. He was hands-down one of Gorman’s most productive linemen this season. I believe he will challenge for playing time as a true freshman.

Plant’s thoughts on becoming a Wildcat: “Being a future Wildcat is definitely a blessing. I’m very fortunate and glad I get that opportunity to play at such a prestigious university. I think he’s a great coach (Kevin Sumlin). I think he’s the perfect guy for the job.”
