Arizona needs to increase blue-chip players on its roster

Related Topics: Arizona, Braedyn Locke

CBS Sports released its blue chip ratio on Thursday, with 18 teams over 50 percent of their rosters with five- and four-star players. Teams with over 50 percent of their roster with blue-chip players have won every national championship since 2011.

Arizona is not close to a blue-chip ratio of 50 percent. Eight players on the 2025 Arizona roster, according to the 247Sports team talent composite, were four-star signees. Redshirt sophomore linebacker Leviticus Su'a and 2025 wide receiver signee Isaiah Mizzell are the only blue-chip players on the 2025 Arizona roster who originally signed with the Wildcats.
