Versatility at the linebacker position was a key ingredient to Arizona’s success on defense last season, and replenishing that unit has been a priority since the NCAA transfer portal opened last week
Now the Wildcats have two potential replacements for the middle of the defense.

Former Memphis linebacker Everett Roussaw Jr. has committed to the UA, the second LB pickup this week.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Roussaw is coming off a strong 2025 for Memphis, his lone season with the Tigers. He had 64 tackles, 6.5 for loss, with 2.5 sacks, along with two forced fumbles and an interception.
Roussaw played 777 snaps last season. Before that he spent two years at UAB, logging nearly 1,100 defensive snaps, and comes to Arizona with one season of eligibility remaining.
He is the seventh player to commit to the UA from the portal, third on defense and second at linebacker along with ex-Georgetown LB Cooper Blomstrom.
