Arizona lands San Jose State transfer quarterback Anthony Garcia

The Arizona Wildcats haven’t seen a wave of movement from current players into the NCAA Transfer Portal, a good sign for the future. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Brent Brennan has added another piece, one he has a prior history with.

On Sunday evening, San Jose State transfer quarterback Anthony Garcia announced his decision to play in Tucson.

Garcia, who played at Capital Christian High School in Sacramento, redshirted in 2023 for the Spartans after not appearing in a game. He comes to Arizona with four years of eligibility left and will be able to learn from Noah Fifita and Brayden Dorman this season. He is a critical addition to the team as the UA only had three quarterbacks on the roster, two on scholarship.

The 6-foot-1, 192 pound passer isn’t ranked in 247’s Transfer Portal rankings, however, he was rated as a 3-star coming out of high school in the Composite. He came in as the No. 1,600 player nationally, the No. 99 QB, and the 135th best player in California.

Garcia announced his entry into the Portal on April 16th and had been quiet until now.

He had a very good senior season for CCHS, throwing 34 TDs with only 4 picks. He ran for another 8 scores as well. You can view his senior highlights below.
