Arizona landed its most notable commitment in years Sunday as four-star tight end Keyan Burnett announced his decision to play for the Wildcats. The move came just about a month after the 6-foot-4 prospect from Servite High School in Anaheim, California backed off his commitment from USC citing uncertainty about how he would be utilized in the offense in Los Angeles.
