Fifita became the starting quarterback for Arizona last season, throwing for 2,869 yards in 12 games, with a 25-6 touchdown to interception ratio, according to Sports Reference. Retaining him after a successful season is huge for the Wildcats. Arizona went 10-3 overall this season, with a 7-2 conference record, good for third in the Pac-12. As the program moves to the Big 12 next season, Fifita staying gives the Wildcats a chance to have another successful season.
McMillan had a huge year in 2023 for Arizona. He caught 90 balls for 1,402 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. He firmly was the top target for Fifita. Retaining him for next year is huge, as he was Fifita’s go-to guy and had a lot of success. It will be interesting to see how he fares moving into the Big 12 conference next season.
