UA also added a punter from Australia!
When he announced in December that he was entering the NCAA transfer portal, Keyan Burnett noted his gratefulness for getting to play for Arizona and the support he received from fans and the Tucson community.
Now that community gets to welcome him back for another go.
The former UA tight end has officially signed to return to the Wildcats for his final college season, doing so after spending the spring at Kansas.

Burnett is one of four spring acquisitions Arizona formally announced Wednesday, including one that hadn’t been previously reported. Ex-ASU offensive lineman Keona Peat, the older brother of incoming freshman men’s basketball player Koa Peat, and former Jackson State long snapper Avery Salerno were known additions, but Australian punter Isaac Lovison was not.

Lovison, from Melbourne, has experience playing Australian Rules Football and will provide competition for returning starter Michael Salgado-Medina, who has also been working at kicker this offseason.
Arizona has also earned commitments this spring from former Albany offensive lineman Chance Roberts, former Illinois State kicker Ian Wagner and Montana prep long snapper Broden Molen.
