Arizona freshman Ian French arrives as a polished special-teams weapon
Ian French enters Arizona in 2026 as a freshman P/K with a strong leg and proven accuracy: in 2025 at Dripping Springs, he went 12-for-15 on field goals, 77-for-79 on PATs, hit a long of 51 yards, and averaged 64.7 yards with 66 touchbacks on 94 kickoffs. Arizona and recruiting outlets list him as a 4.5-star specialist, and the Wildcats have him lined up to help on both kickoff and placekicking duties. If you need a dependable, high-upside special-teams piece, French looks like a quietly nasty fit.
