The Arizona Wildcats are promoting senior quarterback Noah Fifita for Heisman consideration, despite long odds. Fifita is the face of the program and has been the team’s starter for the past two seasons.
Fifita’s Heisman Chances
Fifita’s teammates are expressing their support for their quarterback, with receiver Tre Spivey saying, “We want to go out there and get him that Heisman. That’s all we can talk about, making sure that Noah gets the Heisman this year.” Fellow wideout Chris Hunter added, “He’s the greatest quarterback in the nation. We believe that. We do everything we can to make sure the whole world knows that.”
Arizona coach Brent Brennan also praised Fifita, saying, “Noah Fifita is the best story in college football.” Fifita is poised for a big season, and the team is hoping he can lead them to a successful year.
The Wildcats finished the prior season strong, and there is no concern of a big step back. However, next season’s team will look very different, with several key contributors graduating or moving on to the professional ranks. This season may be the team’s last, best chance for success.
