The Arizona Wildcats have had a very busy four to five days on the recruiting trail. From Friday to Sunday they hosted multiple prospects for official visits. The Wildcats also added five prospects to their 2026 class on Sunday and Monday.
On Tuesday night, they received some more good news from the trail.
Nathan Allen, an offensive lineman from Southern California, announced his commitment to Arizona.

Allen, who plays for Carlsbad High School in Carlsbad, Calif., is a raw prospect that has high upside. He has a good frame, 6-foot-5 and around 275 pounds, that he can pack muscle and more good weight on. He has a decent wingspan and plays with good pad level. However, he’ll need to ensure that pad level is consistent and work on improving it to make sure that he doesn’t get beat by quicker, more powerful rushers. He shows agility when he pulls and blocks downfield. Allen’s team plays a different offensive style that requires a very different blocking scheme than what Doege will run, so it’ll be interesting to see how quickly he can pick Arizona’s schemes up.
Allen has four reported offers and chose Arizona over California, Utah State and UC-Davis. Arizona was his only official visit and he committed shortly after.
Allen isn’t ranked in 247Sports’ Composite nor internal rankings. Like other recent commits, Arizona shouldn’t have to wait too long before he obtains one.
Arizona now has three offensive lineman in the 2026 class, with Allen joining Michael Langi and Malachi Joyner. Overall the Wildcats have 13 commitments, five in the last two days.
