Arizona defensive back Treydan Stukes said the UA football program is “night and day” different from previous years and the spring game has “gotten better every year since Coach Fisch has gotten here.” “I’m excited,” Akina said. “It sounds like there’s going to be a lot of ex-players that I’ve spilled blood with. I look up in the stadium, and there are 24 names up on the stadium that I’ve spilled blood with while I was here.
