Arizona Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez struck twice in the Phoenix area on Monday, securing the commitments of two high school wide receivers.
Nate Phillips of Chandler Basha High School and Paul Elvira of Tempe Marcos de Niza each accepted scholarship offers, which the UA coaching staff tendered after seeing them at its 7-on-7 camp earlier this month.
Arizona Republic reporter Dick Obert called Phillips “one of the state’s more dynamic receivers” and more the big-play threat” compared to Elvira, who is “the possession receiver with great hands.”
