Speaking to reporters earlier this week, Arizona defensive coordinator Danny Gonales got emotional discussing what Wildcats defensive backs Dalton Johnson and Treydan Stukes mean to him. Johnson and Stukes are both in their fifth seasons with Arizona.
Gonzales discussed the process he went through when Arizona head coach Brent Brennan named him defensive coordinator after the 2024 season. Gonzales was the Arizona linebackers coach and special teams coordinator in 2024.
Gonzales said he is thankful for Johnson and Stukes. The initial plan was that Gonzales was going to work on building the front for Arizona.
