Arizona is in the middle of spring practice, but at the same time it’s hosting a slew of recruits from the 2026 class and beyond. One of those visitors already saw enough to decide Tucson is where he wants to play college football.
The UA has landed a commitment from 3-star wide receiver Caleb Smith, the fourth member of its 2026 recruiting class.
