The Arizona Wildcats received a trio of commitments on junior college National Signing Day.
Anthony Fotu is a defensive lineman from San Leandro, Calif. Last season, for Laney College, he tallied 30 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. Fotu is ranked 25th on the list of Scout National JUCO prospects.
Paul Magloire, a safety, is from Lynbrook, N.Y. Last season, he was an NJCAA Second-Team All-American and the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year for Arizona Western. As a sophomore, he led the team with 101 tackles while also forcing a fumble and recording six tackles for loss. He also picked off two passes, broke up six and blocked three kicks.
The final member of Arizona’s haul Wednesday is tight end Matt Morin, who comes from Temecula, Calif. Morin began his college career at San Diego State as a quarterback in January 2013 after graduating high school early.
All three players will have two seasons of eligibility for the Wildacts, who went 10-3 this season and won the Pac-12 South. Arizona earned a spot in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl and will match up with Boise State on Wednesday, Dec. 31 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
