Chip Viney breaks down progress of cornerback room
- Arizona's second starting cornerback job opposite Jay'Vion Cole remains open, but Chip Viney described the group as healthy and deep with multiple candidates capable of playing all five secondary spots.
- Charlotte transfer Dwight Bootle has translated quickly because his Nebraska scheme was similar to Arizona's, and his press-man, off-man and ball-production skills fit the Wildcats' system.
- Viney called Swayde Griffin the secondary's most improved player from spring through fall camp and said Griffin has leaned into earning work on both defense and special teams.
- Jay'Vion Cole has taken on a larger leadership role and carries all-conference to All-America upside if he stays healthy and converts his playmaking opportunities.
- Veteran Malcolm Hartzog is positioned to replace Treydan Stukes in the secondary after a strong camp while trying to rebound and make his own statement in 2026.

Sawyer Anderson named Arizona's backup quarterback
- Sawyer Anderson won Arizona's backup quarterback job behind Noah Fifita after producing more explosive plays than the other contenders during camp.
- Anderson's year in the system gave him an advantage processing the offense, and Seth Doege believes he can handle nearly the same game plan as Fifita.
- Anderson adds mobility, off-platform throwing and outside-the-pocket creation that distinguish his skill set from the rest of Arizona's quarterback room.
- Doege expects only modest play-calling adjustments if Anderson must replace Fifita and believes Arizona can still win major games with him.

8/28 Arizona Football Notebook: Fall Camp comes to an end
- Arizona's depth chart is largely settled after fall camp, and the Wildcats used a mock week to assign scout-team roles and teach roughly 50 newcomers the program's game-week routine.
- Brent Brennan believes nine or ten wide receivers are ready to play, with four having separated at the top of the rotation.
- Gio Richardson and Isaiah Mizell are expected to take substantially larger receiving roles after both made major developmental jumps during camp.
- Jay'Vion Cole has made a significant fall-camp move after missing spring work while recovering from injury, and Malcolm Hartzog has impressed Brennan with his football IQ, toughness and playmaking.
- Kicker Michael Salgado-Medina has shown better consistency, ball striking, accuracy and confidence, leading Brennan to expect a meaningful step forward in 2026.
