Junior Michael Wiley is the frontrunner to be the starter at running back, based on his experience and pass-catching ability, but Drake Anderson, Jalen John and Stevie Rocker Jr. Really looking forward to seeing where that shakes out. There’s a lot of moving parts with that inside linebacker group. We have Ammon (Allen) who’s on his way up but just a sophomore. “We have Jerry (Roberts) coming off of an injury, we have Malik (Reed) who missed a lot of the spring. “Right now, our linebacker crew is young,” Fisch said. The linebacker room has been bolstered by the arrival of freshmen Jacob Manu and Sterling Lane II. The UA’s two newest RBs are DJ Williams, a transfer from Florida State who began his career at Auburn, and 4-star freshman Rayshon ‘Speedy’ Luke. Neither area could get sorted out much during the spring because of injuries and the absence of likely contributors who didn’t arrive until the summer. It will also help Arizona sort out two of its biggest position battles, at running back and inside linebacker. “So the least amount of guys standing and the most amount of guys participate will be ideal.” “The best way to get good at football is playing football,” Fisch said.

We’ll try to figure out a way to get, not just 22 players taking a rep at practice but 44. “So you’ll see the same drill going on in two different places. “We’ll be running a lot of two-field practices,” coach Jedd Fisch said. Training camp gets underway on Wednesday morning for Arizona, and with so many new and young players there will be a strong emphasis on maximizing reps.
