17 Jace Whittaker

Post by ANGCatFan »

Whittaker is a 5-11, 182, Junior cornerback from Oceanside, CA. He played in 11 games as a true Freshman, including 3 starts, and recorded 23 tackles on the year with 11 of them coming against Colorado.

Last year, Whittaker played in every game and started the final 7 games of the year. He broke up 4 passes against Utah, the most by an Arizona player since Antoine Cason, and Whittaker had 11 break-ups on the year to lead the team. In addition, he had 35 tackles (1 for a loss) and 1 interception. It will be a shock if Whittaker is not one of the starting corners when the first depth chart is released.

17 is the most Wildcats to score a TD in one season set by the 2014 squad. It helps your numbers when the walk-on, former girl's soccer manager, kicker scores a TD.

Seriously. I really like Azizi Hearn as well but he has an uphill climb right now. I'm hoping for big things with him.
