KC, the Conroe, Texas native, is rated by 247Sports as the 52nd-best inside linebacker nationally despite his film showing him playing off the edge as an outside linebacker for Oak Ridge High School; He's also rated as the 188th-best prospect from Texas.Â
Ossai is the second player to commit to ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ in as many days, joining junior-college offensive tackle Cade Parrish who committed to the Wildcats on Saturday.Â
Linebacker is currently — and will be after the '20 season — a position that needs depth, but the UA coaching staff has emphasized the position. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ has gained commitments three-star linebackers Jackson Bailey (Red Oak, Texas), Kolbe Cage (New Orleans), DJ Fryar (Steilacoom, Washington) and Matthew Weerts (Batavia, Illinois) are other listed linebackers.Â
Thirteen out of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s 21 commits are defensive recruits.Â
