On the same day the Arizona Wildcats began returning to campus in preparation for the 2020 season, they also picked up a pair of much-needed prospects for the 2021 campaign.
Dalton Johnson, a 3-star safety from Katy, Texas, committed to the UA on Monday over Houston and Virginia Tech.
The 5-foot-10, 180 pound Johnson is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 1,286 player in the 2021 class, as well as the No. 108 safety in the country and the 200th-best Texas prospect. Safety is a major need for Arizona, as it lost four safeties to the NCAA Transfer Portal this offseason and currently only have four scholarship safeties on the roster.
