RB Michael Wiley announces return to Arizona for 2023 season

Arizona added a slew of new weapons on offense this past season, leading to a major improvement in scoring and overall production. But it was the play of a holdover from the past that was just as important to the Wildcats’ offensive upswing, and he’s not done.

Running back Michael Wiley is returning to Tucson for the 2023 season, his fifth with the program, he announced Friday on Instagram:

Wiley put together a tremendously underappreciated 2022 campaign, leading Arizona with 771 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. He also had 36 catches for 349 yards and three TDs, the most receptions by a UA rusher since Ka’Deem Carey had 36 in 2012.
