McMillan is a 6-5, 205, Freshman wide receiver from Servite HS and Waimanalo, HI. He is the highest rated recruit in program history and will start at wide receiver this Saturday. McMillan could have gone anywhere. Every program wanted him, but he chose Arizona because we were also bringing in 2 of his Servite teammates and Coach Fisch convinced him that Arizona was the best place he could prepare for the NFL. There is a recruiting pitch I would have liked to have heard. Last year he caught 88 passes for 1,302 yards and 18 TDs to become the California Player of the Year.
Here is Brandon Combs analysis from AZDS:
Coach Cummings on McMillan:It was a long time coming and a lot of effort, but Jedd Fisch got his No. 1 priority. Arizona put the full court press on T-Mac from the get-go and didn’t let up. Not to mention having his best friend (Noah Fifita) and two teammates whom he is close with (Keyan Burnett and Jacob Manu) all pushing for the same thing.
McMillan is easily the best wide receiver to sign with Arizona…hands down. He also surpasses Devin Ross as Arizona’s highest-rated signee.
T-Mac is the best receiver on the West Coast and is pushing for the best in the nation. He is a big play threat every snap on offense. He can make ridiculous contested catches on a regular basis. His routes are crisp, and he has speed to get behind the defense.
He has a strong bond with his best friend, and fellow signee, Fifita. They implicitly trust each other. It is evidenced on and off the field. That kind of relationship between and QB and WR cannot be overstated. It is pivotal for success on the field and for a great locker off it.
In the end, this was a huge coup by UA. McMillan is the type of recruit every blue blood wants and usually gets. A fantastic way to top off Jedd Fisch’s first recruiting class in Tucson.
