Arizona football: Freddie Tagaloa still trying to shake off the rust

The highly-talented offensive lineman is probably never going to be his old self

When Freddie Tagaloa transferred from Cal to Arizona, expectations were sky-high.

With a height of 6-foot-8 and a frame that is typically only seen in the movies, he was penciled in to protect the Wildcat quarterbacks’ blind-sides for the final two years of his college career.

Even right away, he was receiving praise from everywhere on the team, especially in the year he couldn’t play because of the transfer rule.

But then a knee injury in 2015 set him back a long ways, and he still hasn’t recovered fully after missing the final four games of last season.
