At this time last year, Scottie Young Jr.'s future at Arizona was murky. The junior safety, who started for the Wildcats as a true freshman, was in the middle of a suspension that kept him out from team-related activities between spring ball and most of the 2018 preseason training camp.

Recently, Young participated in his first spring practice period and first preseason training camp since 2017. Arizona head coach Kevin Sumlin and multiple Wildcats have noted Young as an emerging leader in the UA's defense.
