Fifita being available on the open market would be big news. In 2023, he had a tremendous season where he completed 72.4 percent of his passes for 2,869 yards, 25 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Arizona went 10-3 last year. This year, the Wildcats have a new coach and have dropped off. Fifita has completed 60.5 percent of his passes for 2,958 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Arizona has gone 4-8.
