08/12/19 - Khalil Tate, Sr/2020, Arizona + More +

How often will Khalil Tate run in 2019? And how effective and explosive will he be when he does? Arizona has conducted most of its 11-on-11 work behind closed doors. But in the glimpses that have been open to media observation, Tate has looked fast and spry - more like the 2017 version of the dual-threat quarterback who rushed for 1,411 yards than the '18 version who was nicked up and managed only 224. Practice observers have noted the same.

"It's night and day," UA coach Kevin Sumlin said Saturday when asked about Tate's mobility and escapability. "He looks comfortable. He looks healthy." The Wildcats had just completed their final scrimmage of training camp, going 100 plays, including special teams. Sumlin said Tate "took off a couple times … and made some first downs" - a revelation that Arizona fans should find encouraging entering the 2019 season. "I'm healthy," Tate said. "When I'm healthy, I can do a lot...as you guys have seen in the past." - Arizona Republic

08/04/19 - Khalil Tate, Sr/2020, Arizona + More +

A year ago, no player in the country got more preseason love than Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate. Coming off a sophomore season in which he rushed for 1,411 yards (9.2 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns while also throwing for 1,591 yards and 14 touchdowns, Tate was a chic Heisman Trophy pick - even though he was switching from Rich Rodriguez's read-option-heavy offense to Kevin Sumlin's version of the spread. After all, Sumlin had coached Johnny Manziel to the Heisman in 2012, and the assumption was that Sumlin would tailor his pass-happy scheme to the special skill set of Tate.

Tate may want to show NFL scouts that he can play quarterback at the next level, but the only way he's ever going to have that shot is by proving he's an efficient dual-threat guy. His passing did improve as the year went on, as he threw for 2,530 yards and 26 touchdowns with just eight interceptions. The experience he gained in 2018 could help him reach his full potential in 2019, if Sumlin is willing to let him do what he does best and keep defenses on their heels. - LA Times

07/20/19 - Josh McCauley, rSr/2022, Arizona + More +

2019 PRESEASON RIMINGTON TROPHY CANDIDATE: Josh McCauley, Arizona,...McCauley is one of 80 Division I centers on the preseason watch list for the award, which is given to the most outstanding center in football for the 20th consecutive season. The winner of the award will be recognized at a presentation in Lincoln, Nebraska on Jan. 18, 2020. McCauley, a Mesa native, started all 12 games last year for the Wildcats at center.

He helped the Wildcats lead the Pac-12 Conference in rushing yards per game at 202.4. The man in the middle of the line, McCauley also played a key factor in the Wildcats allowing just 20 sacks on the season, which was the third-fewest in the conference. The 6-foot-3-inch, 292-pound center also helped the Wildcats rush for 442 yards at Oregon State, while surpassing the 200-yard rushing mark six times last season. As a redshirt freshman in 2017, McCauley saw action in three games as a backup. - Arizona Football

07/19/19 - Bryce Wolma, rSr/2022, Arizona + More +

2019 PRESEASON JOHN MACKEY AWARD WATCH LIST: Bryce Wolma, JR, Arizona,...A Pac-12 First-Team All-Academic member last year as a sophomore, Wolma played in all 12 games with seven starts. The Saline, Michigan native featured more as a run blocker that helped pave the way for the most dangerous rushing attack in the conference. He finished the season with five catches for 69 yards as well, notching one pass reception in each of Arizona's final three games of the season.

As a true freshman in 2017, Wolma played in all 13 games with seven starts. He had 28 catches for 241 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his debut season with the Wildcats. His 28 catches were the most by an Arizona tight end since Rob Gronkowski in 2008. Wolma is one of nine Pac-12 tight ends to be recognized on the watch list. The winner of the Mackey Award will be announced on Dec. 11, and then presented live on Dec. 12 at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show Red Carpet Show on ESPNU. - Arizona Football

The Corona, California native enters the 2019 season with 2,542 career rushing yards, which ranks 10th in school history. He started all 12 games last year for the Wildcats and went over the 100-yard mark five times, including four times in the final five games.

2019 PRESEASON DAVEY O'BRIEN NATIONAL QUARTERBACK AWARD WATCH LIST: Khalil Tate, Arizona, Sr., 6-2, 215, Inglewood, Calif.,...Tate enters his senior season with the Wildcats with 4,364 passing yards, which ranks 12th in school history and 43 passing touchdowns, which sits sixth.
