Arizona defensive line coach Ricky Hunley is entering his second season with the Wildcats. After a successful first year in the program for his position group, Hunley and the defensive linemen will look to continue to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks this season.

Hunley has the playing and coaching experience at both the college and professional level of football. He started playing for Arizona from 1980-83 after being recruited by Tony Mason. However, he would never play for Mason as the program was in the middle of a culture change under then new head coach Larry Smith, who took over a football team that was faced with NCAA sanctions from the previous regime.

During that time with Smith, Hunley learned what it took to change the culture of a program and became a two-time All-American while being the face of Arizona's football team on and off the field.

Now, as we fast forward to 2022, today's Wildcats are looking to change the culture under present head coach Jedd Fisch, like Smith and Hunley did so long ago.

"I think number one [thing] is trust and confidence in each other," Hunley said. "Taking pride in what you do whether it is practice, whether it is game reps, whatever drill it is, take pride in doing it and doing it right."
