The Arizona Wildcats have landed their fifth commitment of the 2020 class, as three-star defensive end Robert Wooten made his official announcement via Twitter on Sunday.

The high-end prospect hails from Stafford High School in Texas, holding offers to ASU, Utah, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin, among others. Missouri and Texas Tech joined Arizona in his top three schools.

At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Wooten checks in as the No. 574 ranked recruit in the nation and No. 21 ranked defensive end.

As a junior he was named first-team all-district after tallying 79 tackles (22 for loss) and 11 sacks.

This is now Kevin Sumlin’s second defensive commit of the 2020 class, which ranks 82nd overall and 10th in the Pac-12, per 247Sports.

The other four commits are:

• 3-star QB Will Plummer
