UA’s ‘champagne problem’: If starter uncorks TD passes, two-QB plan could be toast | Arizona Wildcats football

Word leaked late Friday that receiver Stanley Berryhill had earned the right to wear the Wildcats’ No. 1 jersey. It turns out he wasn’t alone.

The UA announced Monday that Berryhill and defensive end Jalen Harris each would wear No. 1 this season. Fisch said Berryhill and Harris had proved themselves to be “in that elite category” in terms of accountability.

“They had to do a lot of different things right,” Fisch said. “No. 1, no misses — had to be in every practice, had to participate. Had to go hard every play, every day. Can’t be late to any meetings, can’t miss any … really anything. Have to do well academically. Both of them graduated. Both of them still maintained their GPAs.

“They were certainly two guys that made sure that everybody worked extremely hard. They really are everything that a Wildcat should be. They’re people that give back to the community. They’re people that love being Arizona Wildcats. They’re both Arizona natives. They’ve both people that dreamt of playing here.”

Berryhill, who’s from Tucson, and Harris, who’s from Gilbert, are fifth-year juniors. Berryhill led the team in receiving last season, notching 23 catches for 227 yards and three touchdowns in five games. Harris recorded 18 tackles, 2.5 stops for losses and three pass breakups in four contests.

Berryhill had been wearing No. 86. Harris had been No. 49, the number his father, Sean, wore while starring at linebacker for Arizona in the 1990s.
