Duane Akina is returning to Arizona football as a defensive analyst; also: Jedd Fisch on Leviticus Su'a and other notes from National Signing Day.
Justin Spears Although Arizona was relatively quiet during National Signing Day on Wednesday, the Wildcats"signed a five-star coach," according to Jedd Fisch.
Before Akina's 14-year career at Arizona, he spent five seasons as a defensive assistant under Tomey at Hawaii, followed by one season with the CFL's Calgary Stampeders. "We went through the process of what we wanted to do, what he wanted to do at this point of his career," Fisch said."We spoke with Dave Heeke and came up with a plan. We expect the NCAA to open up some more rules in terms of who can coach, who can't coach; that's been a big part of discussions.
Hyatt had nearly two dozen college offers, including Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan State, Penn State, Oregon and Tennessee, where his older brother caught 67 passes for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. Su’a was a three-year captain for the Monarchs and was named MVP of the elite Trinity League. Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was also MVP of the Trinity League in 2021.
Turner to UNLVFormer Arizona safety Jaxen Turner announced Wednesday that he's transferring to UNLV to play for first-year head coach Barry Odom. Turner is the sixth defensive starter from 2022 to transfer from Arizona, joining linebacker Jerry Roberts , defensive lineman Paris Shand , linebacker Kolbe Cage , defensive tackle Kyon Barrs and cornerback Christian Roland-Wallace .
