The 2025-26 athletic calendar year has come to a close, and it’s time to look back on the Arizona athletic department’s success. Many student-athletes had stellar seasons, with record-breaking performances, game-winning plays, and lifting programs to new heights.

Top Performers

Leading the pack is Jaden Bradley, who had an impressive final season with the Wildcats. He started strong with a season-high 27 points in the season opener against Florida and continued to make clutch plays throughout the season.

Noah Fifita also had a standout season, bouncing back from a 4-8 season in 2024 to lead the Wildcats to a 9-3 record. He set a program record for passing touchdowns in a single season with 29 touchdowns and finished with 3,228 passing yards.

Jay Friend had a remarkable senior campaign, helping lead the Arizona men’s tennis team to an undefeated Big 12 regular season record and securing the program’s first Big 12 regular season championship. Filip Jakubcik had a stellar senior season, helping lead the men’s golf team to the NCAA Championships match play.

Mason Lawyer found himself as a top finisher on a consistent level, setting a personal best time of 6.49 in the 60m at the Big 12 Championships and finishing second. He was also named the Big 12 men’s outdoor performer of the year.
