Arizona Offers Scholarship to Younger Brother of Star Quarterback
Arizona football has been on the recruiting trail for the 2026 class, offering 141 high school players, according to 247 Sports. With a need for talent in the future, Arizona is looking in every direction to accomplish that.
Of those 141 offers, the Wildcats have one commit in three-star Michael Langi, an IOL.
However, they could add another to the class in the near future. Dash Fifita, the younger brother of Arizona’s quarterback Noah Fifita, shared on X that the Wildcats have offered him a scholarship.
Fifita, a linebacker, plays for Santa Margarita Catholic High School in California. He originally started his high school career at Mater Dei, one of the top high school football programs in the country.
He’s had 26 tackles and one tackle for a loss in three games during the 2024 season.
With Fifita’s connection to the program, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him play for Arizona one day. Perhaps this could even be a reason why his brother stays for his senior year, helping the Wildcats continue to find success.
Keeping the Huntington Beach, California native around would be a win for many reasons. As Fifita has shown throughout his first two seasons under center, he’s one of the top quarterbacks in the country.
He threw for 2,869 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2023.
If his younger brother could be half of the player and, better yet, half of the person he is, Arizona’s football program would be in good shape having him around.
The Fifita family seems to love Arizona, too, adding intrigue to possibly landing the high school junior.

Arizona boy named Disneyland’s one billionth guest on his 8th birthday in memorable ceremony
An Arizona boy received the present of a lifetime while celebrating his birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth when he was honored as the one billionth guest at the California theme park.
Andres Robles, 8, walked through the gates of Disneyland Resort Friday morning ready to celebrate his 8th birthday with his parents when he received the heartfelt surprise, DisneyParksBlog reported.
The birthday boy and his parents Alejandra and Jose attended a ceremony at the Main Street USA train station platform where the beaming 8-year-old unveiled a sign showcasing the updated population of the theme park.
“Population 1,000,000,000,” read the sign.
Fittingly, Mickey and Minnie Mouse were in attendance for the special ceremony, as well as their friends Daisy and Donald Duck.
The birthday celebrations for the youngster continued after the ceremony when he was gifted with a VIP tour guide for the day — which can start at a whopping $3,500 for the luxury service.
The lucky family was treated to a tour of Walt Disney’s private apartment located on park grounds as well as the new Soarin’ Across America attraction commemorating America’s 250th birthday.
“The Robles family visit is just one of the many lifelong memories that have been created here at Disneyland Resort,” the blog wrote.
“From vacations and reunions to birthdays and more, generations of families and friends have come to Disneyland Resort to have fun together.”
Disneyland Resort — which encompasses Disneyland and Disney California Adventure — celebrated its 70th anniversary last year.
Known as the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland “has served as the inspiration behind the creation of more Disney theme parks and experiences across the globe,” according to DisneyParksBlog.
“Today, Disneyland continues its legacy as a worldwide icon and industry leader in entertainment and theme park experiences.”
“The resort continues to invest in creativity, technology and innovation to bring storytelling to new heights, while fulfilling Walt Disney’s vision that ‘Disneyland will never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world,’” the blog added.
