Bear Down Wildcats

Short was originally covered on day 46 before getting #24.



Short is a 6-0, 184, safety from Cathedral HS, Los Angeles, CA. He originally committed to ucla, but switched to Arizona last summer. Short helped to lead his team to an undefeated season (losing in the second round of the playoffs) by making 47 tackles (4 for a loss), 2 sacks, 12 pass break-ups, 2 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He was selected to the 2017 Polynesian Bowl. Short is another DB with good length and has shown good ball skills.



46 is the Arizona record for the most turnovers recovered by the team in a season. The 1954 Wildcats made 20 interceptions, recovered 24 fumbles, and 2 blocked kicks. Last year, the Wildcats had 8 interceptions and 6 fumble recoveries. Just a little short of the record.

I'm a huge Rhedi fan. Would love for him to step in early and learn the ropes.

Here is a great 46 accomplishment courtesy of the Zona Zoo countdown.





Also, shout out to Zona Zoo for finally getting their countdown on the right day. I contacted them twice, but they didn't believe they were on the wrong day until all the other countdowns started at 50 days to go.

THIS.

Bump for day 24.

24.75 points per game was Arizona's s average last year. It was the first time we were below 30 points per game since Coach Rod arrived.
