Arizona enters 2026 in full rebuild mode after losing 19 players — 8 to the NFL Draft (including All-American S Treydan Stukes, RB Ismail Mahdi, and WR Kris Hutson) and 11 to graduation. Three-year starting QB Noah Fifita (9,183 career pass yds, 73 TDs, FWAA National Freshman of the Year) is the centerstone, scoring the highest of any returning QB nationally. The portal fills gaps with S Malcolm Hartzog (Nebraska, 8 career INTs) and WR Rodney Gallagher III. Despite massive turnover, Fifita's elite production and Brent Brennan's portal work keep Arizona competitive in the Big 12.
