It was move-in day for several members of the Arizona Wildcats' 2023 recruiting class this past weekend.
With the spring semester at the UA — and spring ball — on the horizon, the Wildcats are officially preparing for the '23 season after finishing Year 2 of the Jedd Fisch regime with a 5-7 record, which included a marquee victory over No. 12 UCLA and winning the Territorial Cup for the first time since 2016.
Fisch said during the season Arizona was expected to add 16-17 early enrollees from the Wildcats' defensive-heavy recruiting class for the spring semester. After research, with help from the Arizona football team Twitter account, the Star discovered the Wildcats have 17 players joining the program this spring, including portal transfers.
Here's who they are:
Colorado Springs quarterback Brayden Dorman is the top-rated player in Arizona's signing class.
