TUCSON, Arizona — Wednesday is the early national national signing day for NCAA Football teams and the Arizona Wildcats will be busy trying to rebuild a roster following a 4-8 season.
The first recruit to sign with the Wildcats is Orlando wide receiver Isaiah Mizell, who's been clocked running at 22 miles per hour. Another wideout, Gio Richardson, comes from perennial in-state power Chandler High School.

"One of the elements we feel we needed to add to our offense is more speed, and I think that part of it is answered with both of them," said head coach Brent Brennan.
According to 247sports, the Wildcats had the 51st best recruiting class on the eve of signing day. It's a number that is continuously changing, and one that also takes into account the number of recruits, not necessarily how highly rated they are.
Another of the high school seniors who officially signed with Arizona is in-state defensive back Dajon Hinton Hamilton High School. His father, David Hinton, played for the Wildcats when Brennan was a graduate assistant.
Arizona is also expected to be very busy in the transfer portal filling roster spots from players like Rayshon Luke. The running back has already announced his intent to transfer from Arizona to another school.
"These next couple of weeks will be chaos in college football," said head coach Brent Brennan, who was also referring to the transfer portal. "We're going to be working hard to build our roster so that we can play the best possible football we can possibly play at the University of Arizona."
