Loyal local: CDO football star Stevie Rocker commits to Arizona Wildcats for 2021

When Arizona played NAU to kick off the 2011 season, two things happened.

Mike Stoops picked up his final win as coach of the Wildcats before he was dismissed five games later. And, at halftime, a Stevie Rocker scored his first Arizona Stadium touchdown.

Rocker was 8 then and a member of the Marana Broncos. Near the end of a scrimmage against the Tucson Redskins, Rocker took a jet sweep down the sideline 23 yards into the north end zone.

“It was such a huge experience that I’ll never forget. I remember scoring a touchdown and how crazy the crowd went.
