Arizona Wildcats College Football Preview 2021: Top Players
Best Arizona Wildcats Offensive Player
OT Donovan Laie, Jr.
It’s been tough to be one of the best blockers on a line that struggled as much as Arizona’s has, but the 6-5, 322-pound Laie has done what he could. Moving around between tackle and guard over the last two years after being thrown to the wolves at left tackle in his first season, he’s got the size, the power, and the toughness to be an anchor for the entire line to build around.
2. WR Stanley Berryhill, Jr.
3. RB Michael Wiley, Soph.
4. RB Drake Anderson, Soph.
5. TE Bryce Wolma, Sr.

Best Arizona Wildcats Defensive Player
DT Trevon Mason, Sr.
The team’s best defensive lineman over the last two seasons – or, at least, close – the 6-5, 315-pound tackle made 64 tackles with a sack and 7.5 tackles for loss in his two years. Like most of the rest of the defensive side, he struggled a bit last year and didn’t get into the backfield enough. Get ready for that to change under new defensive coordinator Don Brown and his scheme.
2. S Christian Roland-Wallace, Soph.
3. LB Anthony Pandy, Sr.
4. DT Kyon Barrs, Soph.
5. CB Isaiah Rutherford, Soph.
Top Incoming Arizona Wildcats Transfer
QB Jordan McCloud, Jr.
The Wildcats have a few quarterback prospects, and it’s going to be a fight through fall camp to find the right guy to run the attack, but the former USF Bull isn’t coming to Tucson to sit on the bench.
The 6-0, 193-pound veteran was just okay during his two years – he was one of the main men for the offense in 2019 and wasn’t able to steadily do the job last year – but his 404-yard, four-touchdown, one rushing score day in the wild 58-46 loss to UCF to end the season might have given a glimpse of what’s about to come.
