That program being the UCLA Bruins who were very disappointed when they didn't land him after being the leader a large majority of his recruitment. Rios has been committed to the Wildcats for over a month now, and has remained solid in his commitment. It would come as no shock if the Bruins attempted to stick their nose back in this thing.

He feels at ease with his college decision he has detailed with Arizona Wildcats On SI in the past. He is the running back commit for Coach Alonzo Carter and he will likely remain that way.

"I feel at ease with my decision and grateful for that feeling. After my official visit, I knew I wanted to commit. The city of Tucson embraces all of the Wildcats sports team, beautiful campus and most of the people I met were friendly. But what I look forward to is the brotherhood of the running back room. Everyone has a different skill set but the same winning vision of the program," the new Arizona Wildcats commit stated when speaking to Arizona Wildcats On SI.

Manoah Fapusa - Committed to the Arizona Wildcats From California

Fapusa was a huge get for the Wildcats in the month of July following a successful official visit with the Wildcats.

He detailed his visit in the past.
