Colin Schooler and his UA teammates celebrate after Schooler broke up a pass on Cal’s two-point conversion attempt in double-overtime of their 2017 game.
Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end of our countdown of the 10 most valuable Arizona Wildcats of 2018 … other than Khalil Tate.
This list is a rarity when it comes to UA football — a Tate-free zone. Had we included him, there would have been no suspense this week.
If you’ve been following along, you probably know who our pick for No. 1 is anyway. But please feel free to disagree, about the top selection or any of the previous nine. Every entry can be accessed from this post. Let us know your thoughts.
Before we go any further, two quick reminders:
- “Most valuable” does not necessarily mean “best.” Rather, we’re defining it as the contributions and traits that most influence winning football. They include talent, leadership and projected role and production.
- Newcomers were not eligible. Even though freshmen played a huge role on last year’s team, it’s just too hard to predict who will have an immediate impact before training camp gets underway.
