The 2018 Arizona Football season is nearly here, so we are bringing you an early look of which Five Breakout players we think will have an impact this season.

Football is almost here, and at Zona Zealots, we are extremely excited for that. To help pass the time, it’s a perfect opportunity to start talking Wildcat football. With that said, I have decided to make a list of five breakout players that I think will have an impact in 2018!

While 2017 was more successful of a season than many were anticipating, I feel a lot of that success can be attributed to the play of Khalil Tate. The now junior sensation returns at quarterback, but will be under a new regime.

Kevin Sumlin takes over the Wildcats as head coach, and will have fairly big expectations in Tucson in year one.

Arizona returns a number of starters from last year, but there is certainly opportunity for others to step up and make an impact on this team.

With that said, here is our list of players who we feel will have the biggest breakout season with the Wildcats this season.

*Note this list is based on what I’ve read and what I have seen from the Spring Scrimmage. This list also isn’t a true indication of how this staff may feel.
