The Wildcats picked up commitments from three-star defensive tackles Manoah Faupusa and Keytrin Harris on Saturday, after three-star Las Vegas defensive end Prince Williams pledged to ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñAV on Friday.

Both Faupusa and Harris committed to Arizona simultaneously on their Instagram profiles on Saturday.

The 6-2, 360-pound Faupusa, who’s entering his senior season at Santa Margarita Catholic (Rancho Santa Margarita, California), selected ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñAV over Colorado and North Carolina.

Faupusa joins Santa Margarita teammate and linebacker Dash Fifita as commits in Arizona’s 2026 recruiting class. Faupusa started his high school career at Los Alamitos, then played at St. Ignatius in San Francisco before returning to Southern California.

Fifita and Faupusa took their official visits to Arizona together in June and recreated a similar “Juice County� photoshoot from Arizona’s Orange County quartet in quarterback Noah Fifita, wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan and tight end Keyan Burnett in 2022; the aforementioned trio, including the Carolina Panthers rookie in McMillan, helped host Dash Fifita and Faupusa in June.

Harris is entering his senior season at AZ Compass Prep in Chandler after recently moving from Harbor City, California. Harris started his high school career at Narbonne High School and totaled 60 tackles and seven sacks. Former Arizona quarterback Ortege Jenkins, who is mostly known for the “Leap by the Lake� touchdown against Washington, trains Harris.

Harris is rated by as the eighth-best prospect in Arizona for 2026.

Greg Biggins, a national recruiting analyst for , said, “Harris is one of the top interior defensive linemen out West” in his assessment of Arizona’s newest defensive lineman.

“A big, strong, physical tackle with all the traits and ability to be a dominant player at the next level,� Biggins said. “Has a prototype frame at a solid 6-foot-3, 290 pounds and physically looks like a college player right now. Very strong, can manhandle opposing offensive lineman and gets a push up the field even when double-teamed. ... All the traits are there for Harris to be a difference maker at the next level and when his motor is going, he’s very tough to deal with.�

The Wildcats have five defensive line commits for 2026: Faupusa, Harris, Williams, Utah edge rusher Harvie Moeai and American Samoa defensive tackle Kaisi Lafitaga. Williams is rated by as the fifth-best prospect in Nevada and the No. 64 edge rusher nationally.

In three seasons at Las Vegas powerhouse Bishop Gorman, Williams has 174 tackles, 21 sacks and six forced fumbles.

“Although not as heralded as some of his teammates, Williams was the heart and soul of the Gaels defense the last two years,� wrote Greg Biggins. “Incredibly productive since his sophomore season, putting up video game numbers for one of the nation’s true heavyweight programs. Among the most versatile defensive linemen in the region, and shows the ability to line up at multiple spots along the line.

“Can create havoc as an edge, tackle or even a nose and will go down as one of the better defensive players Gorman has produced.�

Arizona currently has 19 verbal commits in its 2026 recruiting class.
