Related Topics: Arizona, Arthur Prysock

After starting only three games last season for Arizona football, sophomore cornerback Ephysians Prysock has stepped into a full-time starting role with Arizona’s defense this fall.

Not coincidentally, the defense has dramatically improved,giving up 23 points per game compared to giving up 36.5 points the year prior and has allowed 15.4 yards a game fewer through the air with only five touchdown passes yielded in six games.

Prysock has been targeted the second-most (25 targets for 13 catches) behind only Treydan Stukes (28). He has been lined up as the backside corner for most of the snaps and has allowed 20.
