Former walk-on Tanner McLachlan has defied the odds to become Arizona’s top receiving threat at tight end.
Michael Lev When he was a sophomore at Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, Tanner McLachlan and his teammates attended a game between Arizona and Washington State in Pullman. WSU is the closest FBS program to Lethbridge, a city of about 100,000 in southern Alberta, Canada.
"He's fast, he can catch, he's big," said UA coach Jedd Fisch, whose team opens Pac-12 play at Cal on Saturday."He gives you a really good passing target. He has great hands. He's built a great trust up with our players and with our quarterbacks." "A lot of it was YouTube," McLachlan said."A lot of it was talking to other people that have gone through the same process and just kind of figuring it out on my own. ... I’d look up where I should be at week by week, month by month."
"Coming in as a walk-on led me to have a chip on my shoulder," McLachlan said."And that's been a blessing because I've approached every day with that mindset — trying to get better, trying to be the best in the room, trying to be the best version of myself." Stukes secured his first career interception in Week 2 of this season against Mississippi State. It was his 2022 debut after sitting out the opener because of a knee injury. Stukes suffered a bone bruise during training camp.
