SIGNED: YES

BIO: One of the positions that Arizona's coaching staff prioritized throughout the early portion of the recruiting cycle was the wide receiver spot. The Wildcats want to have as much size outside moving forward, so adding a 6-foot-3 prospect like Miller to the class was a step in the right direction. The standout from Centennial High School in Peoria made an official visit to the in-state program down south in June before coming to his decision on Independence Day. Miller picked the Wildcats over offers from Arizona State, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Oregon State and Colorado State among others. As a senior Miller caught 30 passes for 460 yards and seven touchdowns.

BIO: Arizona went over seas for one of its commits in the class as the two-star athlete from Germany decided to make the move to the US back in October when he picked the Wildcats after taking an official visit to see the program up close. Miranda has good size and could fill a couple different roles for the Wildcats once he arrives on campus. As the process played out the Berlin-based recruit became a priority for the UA coaching staff and he eventually picked the Wildcats over offers from Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, UConn and Toledo among others.

SIGNED: YES

BIO: Arizona had long been the favorite for the versatile all-purpose back from Houston. Brown took an official visit to UA back in the spring and sat on that trip until December just as the early signing period was about to get underway when he visited Michigan State. Ultimately, Brown decided to stick with the plan of committing to the Wildcats and he made that choice a few weeks ago during the dead period. The three-star prospect is one of the most talented recruits in UA's class and is someone other programs have tried to persuade away from the Wildcats. His abilities as a pass catcher and ball carrier make him an invaluable piece to the offensive staff as he gets set to join the deepest position group at Arizona. Brown ultimately picked Arizona over offers from MSU, Nebraska, Utah, Baylor, Arkansas, Texas Tech, Colorado and Missouri.

SIGNED: YES

BIO: Arizona needed to find an answer after the loss of longtime commit Alphonse Oywak who flipped to Washington State.

SIGNED: YES

BIO: Arizona decided to continue to look outside the borders of the United States after the early signing period. Rather than look to prospects outside North America, however, the Wildcats kept it a little bit closer to home with some attention on recruits in the North. The Canadian offensive lineman from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan was previously committed to South Dakota, but as more college programs began to show interest he backed off that pledge by September and started to evaluate his other options. He took official visits to Indiana and Kansas before the early signing period, but he opted to wait out the process and eventually that led to the Wildcats sending offensive line coach Kyle DeVan to meet with him. After that visit the Wildcats offered and Magnuson committed to UA. The three-star prospect has strong bloodlines with a father who played at Washington State plus uncles who played in both the CFL and NHL.

SIGNED: YES

BIO: Arizona's previous defensive coaches like the three-star defensive lineman from Chicago to offer him in the fall. Eventually, things went a bit quiet as he continued to look at his options that included two in-state schools, Illinois and Southern Illinois. Key, who has only played one season of football so far, is a basketball player who made the transition to the gridiron and his size helped him get noticed. Once the new coaches came on board in Tucson, particularly defensive line coach Stan Eggen, the intensity was turned up and the Wildcats made Key a priority eventually landing his commitment on National Signing Day.

SIGNED: YES

BIO: Things moved quickly in the recruitment of the three-star linebacker from Baton Rouge. Triplett added an offer from Arizona late in the summer just before he planned to trim down his list and work toward making a decision ahead of his senior season. The offer from the Wildcats changed those plans and he immediately set up an official visit to make the trip out to Tucson to see the program up close. Ultimately, he picked Arizona over offers from Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Louisville, Memphis and Colorado State among others.

SIGNED: YES

BIO: Arizona made it a priority after the early signing period to focus on recruiting pass rushers and linebackers as the new defensive coaches help the Wildcats make the transition to a 3-4 defense. The Wildcats had plenty of options come to the forefront once the new year arrived and among that group was the big linebacker from Paetow High School in Katy, Texas. Eventually, UA's coaches decided to take a chance and offer the two-star recruit with Mourning ultimately deciding to take an official visit to Tucson. He committed to the program at the end of his trip giving Arizona a much-needed addition at the linebacker spot.
