Entering the 2022 season, it seemed like Arizona might have several players enter the 2023 NFL Draft based on their career trajectories. But through performance and injury that number may be zero, and one of the most likely candidates to turn pro early is opting for a different exit from the program.

Cornerback Christian Roland-Wallace announced on Instagram that he was entering the NCAA transfer portal, the third full-time starter from the 2022 defense to move on in the past 10 days.

The 6-foot, 205-pound Roland-Wallace started 37 games for the UA, including the last 35, appearing in 41 games over four seasons since signing in the 2019 recruiting class as a 3-star prospect from Palmdale, Calif.
