Then on Thursday, Arizona learned of another key player from the 2023 squad that will weigh his options ahead of the 2024 season, with starting defensive back Tacario Davis.

Davis, a three-star prospect out of Millikan High School in Long Beach, California, spent the last two years at Arizona and started 11 of 13 games for the Wildcats this past season. He led the Pac-12 with 15 PBUs 16 passes defended in 2023 and will be an immediate contributor for a team needing experienced help in the secondary.

Davis will have two years of eligibility remaining wherever he ends up, and listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, it likely won’t take long for him to start picking up offers.
