Every rule has an exception: Arizona QB Noah Fifita fighting stigma of 5-foot-10 frame

Like most college quarterbacks with professional ambitions, Noah Fifita faces a difficult path to the NFL. It’s not necessarily because he doesn’t have the arm strength or can’t read defenses on the fly. It’s because of something the University of Arizona signal-caller can’t change. His height. At 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds, Fifita is projected as a late-round draft pick or undrafted free agent partly because of his size, but his coaches are confident that he will make it to the next level despite being one of the smaller quarterbacks eligible for the 2027 NFL draft. “It doesn’t matter if he’s drafted first or if he’s an undrafted free agent,” Arizona offensive coordinator Seth Doege said. “If he gets in that building, he’s staying in that building. I can guarantee you that he’s going to make that roster.” Fifita is building his stock for a 4-1 Wildcats team that on Saturday plays 3-2 West Virginia.
