29 Jarvis McCall Jr.

Post by ANGCatFan »

McCall is a 6-2, 182, redshirt Sophomore cornerback from Tampa, FL. He started all 12 games he played in last year. McCall had 7 pass break-ups and 49 tackles last year and as the Freshman was usually the corner getting picked on by the other team. He is likely to start at corner again this year, but McCall will have several guys pushing him for his starting spot.

29 is the number of TD passes thrown by Arizona last year (28 by Anu and 1 by Scroggins). 29 is also the Arizona record for tackles for a loss in a season held by Scooby in 2014 and Tom Nelson in 1968.

Batiste is a guy whose stories I would love to hear.
