The Arizona football program continues to scoop up prospects at a frenetic pace.
The UA secured its 21st commitment for 2017 on Sunday when safety Rhedi Short pledged his allegiance to the Wildcats.
Scout rates Short, a one-time UCLA commit, as a three-star prospect and the No. 7 safety in the West. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Short attends Cathedral High in Los Angeles.
Short tweeted the news early Sunday afternoon:
