The CBS Sports ranking is consistent with Fifita being ranked 36th in the Athlon Sports list of all 136 Football Bowl Subdivision QBs. Fifita enters the 2025 season playing under his fourth play caller and third offensive coordinator in as many seasons as the Arizona starting QB. Fifita is one of the most experienced QBs nationally with 27 appearances and 21 starts over three seasons with Arizona. Arizona began the 2024 season ranked 21st in the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today Coaches Poll. If Arizona is going to have success in 2025, Fifita needs a redemptive season.
