TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Another honor to add to the growing list of Arizona football's memorable 2023 season: Quarterback Noah Fifita has been named as Pac-12 Freshman Offensive Player of the Year.
Making his first appearance as a starter against Washington back in September, Fifita found his rhythm this season quickly. Arizona posted a win over Washington State on October 14—a turning point for the Wildcats' season, and the first W in the team's current six-game win streak.
Fifita is 6-2 as the team's staring quarterback, and is 4th in FBS with a 73.6 completion percentage. He's been named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week a record five times.
Fifita is one of 13 Arizona Wildcats earning All-Conference honors this season, the final year of Pac-12 play:
- All-Pac-12 First Team: Jordan Morgan and Jacob Manu
- All-Pac-12 Second Team: Tetairoa McMillan and Tyler Loop
- All-Pac-12 Honorable Mentions: Jonah Coleman, Tanner McLachlan, Jonah Savaiinaea, Taylor Upshaw, Tacario Davis, Ephesians Prysock, Jacob Cowing and Treydan Stukes

Arizona's six-game win streak is the longest in team history since the landmark 1998 season.
