While it's a much less publicized and exciting day than it used to be, Wednesday was the offical February national signing day across college football. Most schools already had their recruiting classes close to finalized after the December signing period, but now many more uncomitted prospects will be announcing their decisions.

Arizona did not announce any additional high school commitments on Wednesday but did add Louisville punter Carter Schwartz as a transfer. A few other players with offers from the Wildcats remain unsigned, national recruting services indiate that those players will likely be heading elsewhere.

Where Does Arizona's 2026 Recruiting Class Rank?

Brent Brennan and his staff have recrutied the nation's No. 43 recruting class, according to On3's industry wide rankings that factor in all national recruiting platforms. The WIldcats have 21 high school players comitted, including four four-stars and 17 three-star recruits.

Arizona's Top Signees

Four-star wide receiver RJ Mosley (Pittsburg, CA) leads the Arizona recruiting class. He's a big-bodied wideout at 6-foot-3, 180 lbs, and ranks as the No. 136 player nationally, No. 16 in California, and the No. 19 overall wide receiver. He's also a track athlete, and that rare vlend of size and speed bodes well for his pro potential.

Arizona also landed a couple of four-star offensive linemen in Malachi Joyner and Justin Morales. Joyner is the No, 256 player nationally and No. 4 player in Arizona. Morales, an El Pas, Tex., native ranks 292nd nationally and 39th in Texas.

Bu Morales isn't the only high impact Texan joining the Wildcats. Four-star defensive back Xaier Hiler (Denton, TX) has also signed with Arizona. His recruiting rankings vary across the different platforms, but they all agree he;s a top-500 prospect, bordering between four and three stars depending on the business. He's a nother long and athletic player in this class, choosing Arizona over Oregon State. Bowling Green, Colorado State, and others.

Tight end Henry Gasalis is another player whose ratings vary but is squarely in the top 500. 247Sports gives him his most favorable ranking as the No. 433 player in the country and No. 23 tight end. A Washington native, he's chosen to stay on the West Coast for his college ball.

The big quarterback recruit in this class is Californian, Oscar Rios. He's the final WIldcat recruit that hovers between four and three-star ratings and was rewarded for his high school achievements by getting to particpate in the Polynesian Bowl and reaching the Elite 11 Fiinals. Rios is also considered one of the fastest rising quarterback recruits in this class.
