Defensive end Jalen Harris to return to Arizona for sixth season

Finally, some good news on the player movement front for the Arizona Wildcats.

Defensive end Jalen Harris announced Friday he would return to school for a sixth season, passing up the opportunity to turn pro or transfer to another school.

Harris, one of several Wildcats who participated in Senior Day activities last month but who still had eligibility remaining, is the first of that lot to decide to come back to Arizona for 2022. Wide receiver Stanley Berryhill III declared for the NFL Draft while linebacker Rourke Freeburg and defensive backs Malik Hausman and Rhedi Short were among the nine UA players who have entered the NCAA transfer portal since the season ended.
