The spring transfer window is well underway, and now movement is taking place for Arizona now that spring ball has come to a close. The Wildcats are expected to remain active this spring as they work to add to the 25-man group that was brought in during the winter transfer window.
Brent Brennan's team still has needs to fill this spring, and we will track all the movement as Arizona looks to finalize its roster for the upcoming season.
Graduate transfers can enter the portal at any point, but non-graduates will have until Friday to inform their current programs of their intentions to enter the portal this spring.
Latest portal additions
Committed on: April 25
Previous school(s): Illinois State
Eligibility: 1 season
Rundown: Arizona needed to find a replacement for Tyler Loop, and the Wildcats looked to a former Southern Arizona player for the solution. Ian Wagner is from Sierra Vista but played out his career at Illinois State, but he will return home to close out his time in college with the Wildcats. The UA special teams group thinned out after the season, so finding a kicker was critical for the staff and new special teams coordinator Craig Naivar during the spring portal season. Wagner made 25 of his 36 field goal attempts in 32 games with the Redbirds. He was 11 for 15 on field goals in 2024 with a long of 47 yards.
Committed on: April 22
Previous school(s): Albany | Tiffin University
Eligibility: 1 season
Rundown: The senior from Ohio started nine games in his lone season at Albany with six starts at left tackle and three starts at left guard. In all, Roberts played in 12 games and was on the field for 651 snaps during the 2024 season. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Ohio native will have one season of remaining eligibility with the Wildcats.
