We’re still waiting for the on-field results, but at least from a recruiting standpoint Arizona is starting to become a desirable place for top-tier tight ends.
Jackson Bowers, a 4-star tight end from Mesa, has included the Wildcats in his top 7 along with Alabama, Auburn, BYU, Ole Miss, Oregon and Washington.
The 6-foot-5, 225-pound Bowers is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 243 player in the 2023 recruiting class, as well as the 13th-best tight end and the No. 4 prospect from Arizona. He plays for plays for Mesa Mountain View, where as a junior last fall he caught 47 passes for 861 yards and five touchdowns.
