ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

Four-star cornerback Ephesians Prysock, a former USC commit, has signed with ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥.

Prysock immediately jumps to the top tier of the UA’s 2022 class. A product of Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California – where he was teammates with fellow signee Kevin Green Jr. – Prysock is ranked as a top-250 player in the country by 247Sports. Rivals also rates him as a four-star prospect.

Welcome Home �🌵 is officially a Wildcat😤

In addition to being committed to USC before the Trojans’ coaching change, Prysock had an offer from Ohio State, which he visited in June. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ was able to get him on campus last week.

Prysock is listed at 6-3, 170 pounds, so he gives the Wildcats another cornerback with excellent length.

Barring a surprise, no additional signings are expected today. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ remains in the running for four-star receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who’s expected to decide between the UA and Oregon by the end of this week.

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ inks UCLA transfer DJ Warnell; top target Tetairoa McMillan still in play

The high school signings have slowed down, but the news hasn’t.

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ has secured its first addition from the NCAA transfer portal in UCLA defensive back DJ Warnell.

Warnell, who’s originally from La Marque, Texas, played 16 games over the past two seasons as a reserve safety and special-teams contributor. He had nine tackles, two pass breakups and one forced fumble this past season as a second-year freshman.

Warnell was a three-star cornerback coming out of high school. He’s listed at 6-2, 201 pounds.

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ recently hired defensive assistants Johnny Nansen and Jason Kaufusi off the Bruins’ staff, so they’re obviously familiar with Warnell’s game.

Meanwhile, ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s top remaining target, wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, .

McMillan, a four-star prospect rated as the No. 3 wideout in the nation by 247Sports, has been committed to Oregon for some time. But the Ducks are in the midst of a coaching change, giving McMillan pause.

Greg Biggins, the national recruiting analyst for 247Sports, said it’s a “very tight raceâ€� between Oregon and ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, which has signed three of McMillan’s teammates from Servite High School in Anaheim, California: quarterback Noah Fifita, tight end Keyan Burnett and linebacker Jacob Manu.

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ also announced the signing of linebacker Brandon Craddock, who will join the program as a preferred walk-on. Craddock attends Sandra Day O’Connor High School in Phoenix.

Pass rush remains focus for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, which adds DE Isaiah Ward to '22 class

Upgrading the pass rush was clearly one of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s primary objectives in this recruiting cycle.

The Wildcats added another edge rusher to their 2022 class via the signing of defensive end Isaiah Ward.

When Jedd Fisch became ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s coach last December, the early signing period already had come and gone.

Fisch and his staff inherited most of the class of 2021. They scrambled to add to it, and they enhanced the incoming group via the NCAA transfer portal.

But as soon as they possibly could, Fisch, his coaches and the UA “front office� went to work on the class of ’22. The fruit of their labor will be revealed today.

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ entered Wednesday with a class ranked in the top 40 nationally by and . Both recruiting outlets placed the Wildcats’ class third in the Pac-12.
