Justin Spears Over the next few days, the Star is asking three lingering questions surrounding the Arizona Wildcats football program entering the summer after the UA wrapped up its spring practice schedule last week. Up first: Will star offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea play right tackle or right guard in 2023?
Arizona offensive line coach Brennan Carroll said"the genesis of said idea is something we always had a thought of,” and he pitched the idea to Savaiinaea shortly after the Wildcats finished their 5-7 season in 2022. Said Carroll: “Last year it was easier to start him at guard, his natural position, and we had the opportunity this spring, so we talked about it after the season."
“He’s a good athlete, so he’s made the transition pretty well. We just wanted to try a bunch of guys at different spots, kind of like we’ve always done, to have more versatility if we need to make that move.” “These guys understand when these new guys come in, they’re going to get their shot to play early," Carroll said."They’re going to get their shot with the early on in camp, and let’s see how they do. This is their time to tear it up and show what they got. They know they’ve got new guys coming in.”
"We'll play Jonah at the best spot for Jonah. He's an All-American player, an NFL player, and we'll make sure Jonah gets taken care of so that he's able to lead us up front."
