Arizona football coach Jedd Fisch has made recruiting Arizona high school products a priority since becoming the coach in Tucson.

It is paying off for the Wildcats.

Arizona's roster for Fisch's third season at Arizona is full of Arizona natives.

The Wildcats currently have 30 former Arizona high school football standouts on their 2023 season roster, with many expected to play a big role for Arizona.

As Fisch continues to make recruiting Arizona a focal point, the number, and impact of Arizona natives on the Wildcats' football roster could increase.
