Arizona's star wide receiver, who leads the Pac-12 in receptions (85) this season, announced on his social media accounts Monday night that he's returning to the Wildcats in 2023. Cowing announced his decision with a video hours after receiver counterpar t Dorian Singer, who leads the conference in receiving yards, revealed that he's entering the transfer portal. "Ever since I was young, I dreamed about playing the game I love professionally," Cowing said in the video. "After careful consideration and t alking with my family and loved ones, I have decided that one year is not enough. Wildcat nation, we still have business to take care of."After three seasons at UTEP, Cowing transferred to Arizona this past season and quickly emerged as one of the Wildcats' top play-makers on offense alongside Singer and star freshman Tetairoa "T-Mac" McMillan, catching 85 passes for 1,034 yards and seven touchdowns; his 85 receptions also ranks third in single-season program history behind Bobby Wade and Dennis Northcutt. Cowing has 226 catches for 3,629 yards and 20 touchdowns over his four-year college career. Cowing, who is likely to become Arizona's first All-Pac-12 selection since Juron Criner in 2010, was named a first-team all-conference selection by Pro Football Focus last week. - Arizona Star News

Jayden de Laura threw four touchdown passes, three to fellow transfer Jacob Cowing, and Arizona beat San Diego State 38-20 on a sizzling Saturday to spoil the debut of Snapdragon Stadium. The Aztecs (0-1) waited two years for their new stadium to be buil t next to where 70,000-seat SDCCU Stadium once stood, and then were embarrassed by the Wildcats (1-0) on a 100-degree day. SDSU announced a sellout of 34,046. Many seats were empty at kickoff and the east stands, totally exposed to the sun, were mostly e mpty by the fourth quarter.Arizona avenged a 38-14 loss to SDSU in its home opener last year during a 1-11 season. De Laura, who transferred from Washington State, completed 22 of 35 passes for 299 yards. He was intercepted once. Cowing, a transfe r from UTEP, had eight catches for 152 yards. The Wildcats sacked transfer Braxton Burmeister on the first play from scrimmage, forced SDSU to punt and then scored the stadium's first points on Tyler Loop's 25-yard field goal. De Laura, the Pac-12 Freshm an Offensive Player of the Year at Washington State last season, hit Cowing for on a 17-yard pass for a 10-0 lead and then found freshman Tetairoa McMillan on a 4-yarder to make it 17-3 midway through the second quarter. - Arizona/AP College Football

Asked whether he expected to touch the ball a certain number of times per game in his first season as an Arizona Wildcat, Jacob Cowing said exactly what you'd expect him to say: "Not at all. I'm a team-first guy. As long as us as a team are getting the j ob done and we get the win (that's) what matters to me. I don't really care about personal stats. I just want to get the win and turn this program around." Cowing's sincerity about winning games and turning UA football around can't be questioned. The oth er part, though? "He's lying to you," receivers coach Kevin Cummings said, laughing. "He wants the ball every play. He's a competitor that way." Cowing didn't come to Arizona to be a decoy, although he could be an effective one at times. He came, at leas t in part, because he knows Jedd Fisch can help elevate his game and boost his NFL draft stock. Just ask Stanley Berryhill III, Cowing's predecessor as a slot receiver and all-around weapon in Fisch's offense. Berryhill caught 83 passes for 744 yards las t year, becoming just the sixth player in school history to have 80-plus receptions in a season.Berryhill also had 19 rushes and 18 punt returns. All told, that's 120 touches, or 10 per game. Cowing is expected to be Arizona's primary punt returne r. He's also in the mix to return kickoffs. Fisch wants to get him the ball as much as possible in as many ways as possible. The transfer from UTEP will line up in the slot, on the outside, maybe even in the backfield at times. He'll go deep, catch bubbl e screens and run fly sweeps. "There are not many limitations to his game," Cummings said. "He can go vertical. He can win man on man. And he's got the smarts and the savviness to adjust to some of that stuff in the slot, some of those zone coverages, sl ip defenders. "It's on us as a staff to put him in as many different spots as we can to use those skill sets. For him, he's just going out there playing, and wherever we line him up, he's done a great job of figuring out where he needs to be and how to r un it." - Arizona Star News

Considering the other suitors for wide receiver Jacob Cowing, Arizona's ability to land the wide receiver might just have been the highlight of an already incredible offseason. The Maricopa native garnered offers from LSU, Florida, South Carolina, Oregon , Mississippi State, Texas Tech, Louisville and Arizona State, among others, after deciding to leave UTEP following three seasons. He could've gone to "The Swamp," "Death Valley" or Autzen Stadium. He could've played in the "Air Raid" offense, heaven for a wide receiver. Instead, Cowing chose an Arizona program that's only won one game in the last two-plus years.Proximity to home was key - though it wasn't the only factor. "I have a baby in the Chandler-Gilbert area, so I wanted to be closer to h im and spend that time during my last few years of college football, and also my friends and family in the Chandler-Gilbert area as well," said Cowing, who will lead the Wildcats into their Sept. 3 season opener at San Diego State. "I wanted them to be a part of the last few years...U of A was also one of my dream schools growing up, so why not go out with a bang for these last few years of college football." - Arizona Star News

Although he was one of the most sought-after players in the NCAA transfer portal, Jacob Cowing arrived in Tucson with relatively little fanfare. UA fans were swept up in the recruitment of top-50 prospect Tetairoa McMillan. The acquisition of quarterback Jayden de Laura also demanded big, bold headlines. But make no mistake: Cowing is at worst Arizona's second-most important offseason pickup, behind de Laura, and he'll make an instant impact for an offense desperate for playmakers. One of Arizona's two player representatives at Media Day, along with senior safety Christian Young, Cowing comes to L.A. as a preseason second-team All-Pac-12 selection.He exploded at UTEP last year, catching 69 passes for 1,354 yards and seven touchdowns. He chose Ar izona for two primary reasons: the relationship he quickly built with Fisch and Tucson's proximity to the Chandler area, where Cowing's 2-year-old son, Chase, lives. Cowing attended Maricopa High School. He was a two-star recruit. Now he's on the verge o f stardom. - Arizona Star News

Cowing has been named an early-season candidate for both the Maxwell Award, given annually to the best player in college football; and the Biletnikoff Award, given to the best receiver. - Arizona Star News

Before UTEP started emptying the bench, Jacob Cowing was in national player of the week contention. Three plays into the third quarter he had four catches for 163 yards and a touchdown before finishing with five grabs for 158. Gavin Hardison threw one in terception that was a result of him being belted in the chest by Donovan King as he released the ball on what he thought was a free play (what UTEP thought was an NMSU offsides wasn't called), but he was good, especially on deep balls to his stars Cowing and Justin Garrett. He finished 11 of 16 with a touchdown pass and 249 yards (22.6 yards per completion) before sitting out the fourth quarter. "The connection between Gavin and I, we've put a lot of time on that in the offseason," Cowing said. "We stud ied New Mexico State, we knew them like the back of our hand, so when we came out we knew what to expect." - Las Cruces Sun News
