Arizona cornerback Tacario Davis has been recognized as the Jim Thorpe National Defensive Back of the Week for his outstanding performance in the Wildcats' 23-10 upset victory over No. 10 Utah. Davis recorded five pass breakups, including three on crucial fourth-down plays, and seven solo tackles during the game. His impressive display has drawn attention from NFL draft scouts, with some suggesting he could be a first-round pick. Coach Brent Brennan praised Davis for responding well to challenges and showcasing his length, which poses difficulties for opposing receivers. The Wildcats improved to 3-1 overall and made history by winning their first Big 12 Conference game. They are set to face Texas Tech in their home opener on October 5, 2024.
