Anthony Pandy stepping up, D.J. Mourning standing out among Arizona’s linebackers

Once projected to be their greatest strength, the Arizona Wildcats linebacking corps is arguably their biggest question mark heading into the 2020 season.

Star seniors (and leading tacklers) Colin Schooler and Tony Fields both transferred over the summer, leaving Arizona with only five scholarship linebackers and senior Anthony Pandy as the only one with notable game experience.

No pressure.

“Anthony’s leadership has always been apparent and that hasn’t gone anywhere,” said first-year defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads. “But myself and the rest of us will certainly be more reliant on him as we move forward because of what he’s been through and the credibility he has as a talented, physical player.
