Arizona football depth chart: Brian Knorr looks to turn Wildcats’ special teams around in 2017

The Arizona Wildcats’ special teams unit will be under new leadership in 2017, with former Ohio State assistant Brian Knorr taking over for Charlie Ragle, who left for a special teams job with the California Golden Bears.

Special teams have been an absolute disaster at Arizona for the past five seasons, particularly in the return game.

There have only been three punt returns brought in for a score since Rich Rodriguez arrived in Tucson in 2012. Meanwhile, Arizona has had one kickoff returned for a touchdown in the past five years, and it was Cayleb Jones who returned an onside kick for a score back in 2014.
