Mario Alford (Greenville, Ga./Georgia Military Academy) wasn't in a hurry to make a commitment, but when it comes to football, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound athlete does just about everything at top speed.
Alford said he was just trying to get first-hand look at the Arizona campus during his official visit this past weekend. It was his first time heading that far West and Alford was impressed with what he saw. He had an opportunity to meet with head coach Rich Rodriguez, and everything clicked.
"I felt like it was the perfect fit," Alford said. "Since they first offered me, they've been sticking with me since Day 1."
