RS Sophomore Offensive Lineman- Michael Eletise

The Hawaiian-native joins our list here at No. 2! A former four-star recruit and participant in the highly regarded Under Armour All-America game, Michael Eletise is the highest rated lineman currently on roster.

He enters his redshirt sophomore season and will finally have a significant role on the offensive line this year. Arizona was fortunate to have a rather solid group last season, but with the departure of a number of key players, Eletise should be able to step-in and contribute early.

While I expect some growing pains on the offensive line early on in the year, I feel Eletise has an incredibly high ceiling as a player and will only continue to get better.

He looked pretty solid in the spring scrimmage, and I expect him to be one of the anchors of this group in 2018!
