The NCAA transfer portal has been good to Arizona since it opened just over a week ago, with at least a dozen players from other Division I schools committing to play for the Wildcats in 2026. But it’s not the only place the UA has been looking to help reload the roster.
On Saturday night Arizona got a commitment from junior college cornerback Brandon Holmes, who spent the past two seasons at Fresno City College. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Holmes picked the UA over offers from Hawaii, Sam Houston State, South Alabama and Washington State, among other.
Holmes played in 19 games for Fresno, recording 54 tackles including 45 during the 2025 season when he also intercepted five passes.
He is the fourth defensive back Arizona has gotten a commitment from in the past week, the other three from the transfer portal, as it looks to replace all five starters in the secondary.
