Arizona bringing backup quarterbacks up to speed in first week of fall camp

Khalil Tate is the starting quarterback for the Arizona Wildcats. There’s no question about that.

But behind Tate are six inexperienced passers. Together, they have one completion at the collegiate level.

Arizona recently added Luke Ashworth to the roster, a walk-on from Arcadia High School (Phoenix, AZ). Andrew Tovar enters his second year in the program as a redshirt freshman walk-on from Cathdral High School (Los Angeles).

Arizona brought in two high-end 3-star quarterbacks in the latest recruiting cycle, the first being Rich Rodriguez’ long-time commit Jamarye Joiner, a hometown product that replicates the electrifying skill set of Tate.
