Arizona's new coaching staff is beginning to establish itself on the recruiting front. After a slower start, the Wildcats have caught fire to begin the summer, and Sunday marked another big day for Brent Brennan and his staff in Tucson.

A day that brought four new commitments to the team's 2025 class ended with one of the most notable pickups of the cycle for UA.

Sunday evening, high three-star offensive lineman Sione Tohi announced his pledge to the Wildcats following a weekend stay in Tucson.

"Man I feel like Tucson is one of a kind, you won't find this type of brotherhood and team chemistry anywhere else," Tohi told GOAZCATS.com. "In this era of NIL its hard to find genuine bonds between players, but at UA its different, everybody isn't not worried about the money, their just there to work."

Tohi gave Arizona his commitment after spending the weekend in the desert on his official visit with the program. The 6-foot-3, 330-pound prospect has strong ties to several players on UA's current roster, including quarterback Noah Fifita and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.

"What makes them special is that they care about you," said Tohi. "Their gonna make sure you're taken care of regardless if you're a star player, or walk on everyone is held to the same standard as everyone else."

The addition of the 24th-ranked guard in the class is a significant one for Brennan, offensive line coach Josh Oglesby and the Wildcats. In order to earn his pledge, UA had to convince Tohi to turn down several significant schools from across the country including LSU, Alabama, USC and Oklahoma.

"Coach Oglesby offered me," said Tohi. "Him and I have a close relationship, that's my guy."

He is now the 11th addition for Arizona in the cycle, and his announcement capped a day that featured two flipped commitments in favor of the Wildcats.

Tohi has previously been named an all-American by MaxPreps and is a multi-year starter for Mater Dei, which has routinely been one of the top teams in the country in recent years.

He is the first offensive lineman to join Arizona's class.
