Giovanni Richardson - Top two receiver in camp Richardson was noted as one of the top two receivers for Arizona during fall camp, per Justin Spears of Tucson.com.

Impact Coming off a freshman season in which he totaled just 299 yards in 11 games, Richardson appears set to see an expanded role within the Arizona offense in 2026. The 5-foot-10 receiver was named along with fellow receiver Chris Hunter as the top two options for the Wildcats, indicating they will see a large portion of the volume in the Arizona passing attack.

Tyler Powell - Full go for camp Powell (foot) is a full go for fall camp, Brian Pedersen of AZ Desert Swarm reports.

Impact Powell missed all but one game of the 2025 season with a foot injury, and his rehab trickled into most of this offseason. The 6-foot-7 tight end luckily is now good to go ahead of the upcoming campaign, with opportunities for this to be his best season yet.

Ismail Mahdi - Will return to Arizona Mahdi will return to Arizona for his 2026 season, Justin Spears of Tucson.com reports.

Impact Not long after it was announced that student-athletes could log a fifth year of collegiate eligibility, it meant the freshman class of 2022 recruits could be eligible for another season. Mahdi fits in that category, having debuted with Houston Baptist that year. The running back subsequently transferred to Texas State, where he logged two excellent seasons good enough to warrant interest from Arizona for 2025. That year, his first with the Wildcats, Mahdi logged 133 rushing attempts for 853 yards (6.4 averaged per carry) and four touchdowns. With him back, that may change the trajectory of the Wildcats' running back room, and it makes sense that they revert to him as their option considering his previous success.

Kedrick Reescano - Practicing in fall camp Reescano (undisclosed) is practicing in Arizona's fall camp, Cole Banker of KVOA.com reports.

Impact After being limited to reserve duty last season, Reescano is attempting to break out with Arizona this year. Even with preferred running backs limiting him to fewer than 85 rushing attempts, he averaged 4.7 yards per carry for 396 yards and proved to be a formidable goal-line threat by scoring nine touchdowns. Maintain them and increase opportunities to run, and Reescano would be a top running back not just in the Big 12 Conference but for all of college football.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah Mizell - Impressing in fall camp Mizell is impressing in Arizona's fall camp, Justin Spears of Tucson.com reports.

Impact 2026 marks Mizell's second year with Arizona. In his first, 2025, he logged four receptions (on nine targets) for 39 yards. Ideally for Mizell, by impressing in Arizona's fall camp, he earns more opportunities that can earn him double-digit targets and triple-digit yardage this coming season.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ismail Mahdi - Considering return to college Mahdi could return to college for the 2026 football season, according to On3.com.

Impact Mahdi could add depth to Arizona's RB room if he decides to return to college since he qualifies to have an extra year of eligibility based on the latest ruling. Mahdi rushed for 859 yards and four touchdowns at Arizona last season and went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
