  In a play-action heavy UTEP attack, WR Jacob Cowing needed only 69 receptions to gain 1,354 yards and score seven times. He immediately becomes one of the most dangerous slot receivers in the Pac-12. Cowing was a highly touted wideout in the transfer portal. He played three seasons at UTEP, recording 141 catches for 2,595 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also added 75 yards rushing and one touchdown in just four attempts. In his last season at UTEP, Cowing's 1,354 receiving yards ranked ninth in all of college football. He will have Washington State transfer quarterback Jayden de Laura throwing him the football. Cowing joins freshman WR Tetairoa McMillan, the No. 5 wideout in the 2022 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.com. - ArizonaSports.com

  Arizona's Sept. 3 game at San Diego State will start at 12:30 p.m. and air on CBS, the Aztecs announced on Wednesday morning. It'll be the first-ever game played at the Aztecs' new Snapdragon Stadium, which sits on the site of the old Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego's Mission Valley. SDSU's football program played the last two seasons in Carson, more than 100 miles away, while the new stadium was built. The 35,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium is half the size of the Aztecs' old home at Qualcomm. Expectations are higher this season for Arizona, which went 1-11 last season and winless in 2020. But a tough nonconference schedule could provide a hurdle for the Wildcats and their best-in-program-history freshman class. - Arizona Star News

  For the fifth time in the past 10 years, no Arizona Wildcats were selected in the NFL draft, which concluded Saturday. That figure is easily the highest in the Pac-12. It was also the second time in the past three years that no UA players were picked. Last year, two Wildcats went with back-to-back selections in the sixth round - defensive tackle Roy Lopez (Houston Texans) and running back Gary Brightwell (New York Giants). Only one other Pac-12 school, Colorado, failed to have a player selected this year. UCLA led the league with six picks, starting with tight end Greg Dulcich, who went to the Denver Broncos in the third round. Arizona State and Washington tied for second with four selections apiece. ASU had its most picks since 2015 (also four). Oregon and Utah - who squared off in the Pac-12 Championship Game - each had only one player selected. But both were first-round picks (Kayvon Thibodeaux, Devin Lloyd). The Pac-12 had 25 players drafted, the fewest since the league expanded to 12 teams, per longtime league chronicler Jon Wilner. - Arizona Star News

  Jalen Johnson is transferring, a presumed casualty of the Arizona Wildcats' sudden and impressive depth at wide receiver. In a lengthy social media post, Johnson - a rising junior from Corona, California - thanked former coaches Kevin Sumlin and Taylor Mazzone and praised God for giving him a chance in Tucson. Johnson played in nine games last season, catching four passes for 37 yards. He appeared in 10 games as a true freshman in 2019, catching seven balls for 79 yards and a score. He did not see the field during the coronavirus-shortened 2020 season. - Arizona Star News

  Justin Flowe is steadily increasing his workload as Oregon begins its final full week of spring practice. The Ducks inside linebacker took reps with the second-team defense on Tuesday, his first work during an 11-on-11 period when viewing was open to the media. It's still being determined if the third-year freshman linebacker will play during Saturday's spring game (1 p.m., Pac-12 Network). "He's eager to get to work," Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. "He has an infectious personality and an enthusiasm in the way he approach(es) every day, he knows he's got a long ways to go. We're going to continue to chart his progress and see what it looks like as he moves forward, but definitely fun to see him out there." Flowe has been recovering from a season-ending right foot injury he suffered against Fresno State on Sept. 4, when he had 14 tackles and forced a fumble. - The Oregonian

  Fisch is optimistic that the new QBs will catch on quicker - especially transfer Jayden de Laura, who's favored to start. De Laura appeared in 16 games for Washington State over the past two seasons, starting 15 of them. That gives him an inherent advantage. Last spring, the two scholarship quarterbacks who took most of the reps, Will Plummer and Gunner Cruz, had four combined college appearances. De Laura attempted 490 passes with the Cougars. Plummer (80) and Cruz (seven) had combined for 87. "I think the learning curve is very different," Fisch said, "just because of the fact that Jayden has a lot of inventory to pull from." One challenge that's common to all three quarterbacks is having to adjust to an offensive system that bears little resemblance to the ones they ran at previous stops.

Plummer operated a version of the spread offense. Cruz played in an Air Raid scheme, then the run-and-shoot, at Washington State. De Laura also ran the run-and-shoot at WSU. Fisch runs a pro-style system that's similar to the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams' offense. The verbiage is more elaborate. The quarterback operates under center a good chunk of the time. The tight end plays a prominent role. All of that takes time to get used to. De Laura held the ball a beat or two too long at times during 7-on-7 Wednesday - a sign that he still has learning to do. It would have been more surprising if he had breezed through practice without a hiccup; after all, de Laura has been on campus for only a couple of months. - Arizona Star News

  2021 ALL-PAC-12 FIRST TEAM (COACHES): P Kyle Ostendorp, So., Arizona,...Ostendorp, who led the Pac-12 with an average punt of 49.2 yards and is the first Wildcat punter to be selected to the first team since Keenyn Crier in 2007, set a school record for average yards per punt in one season which was previously held by Danny Baugher who averaged 47.5 yards per punt back in 2005. However, Baugher punted just 37 times in 2005 while Ostendorp had 58 punts this season. Ostendorp had a Pac-12 best 28 yards of punts that traveled 50+ yards and downed 17 inside the 20.
