Fifita is now the 168th player in FBS history to reach 10,000 passing yards without transferring schools, a rarity in today’s era of frequent player movement. Arizona coach Brent Brennan praised Fifita's loyalty and dedication to the program. With more games in the season, including potential postseason play, Fifita is on pace to increase his yardage total significantly.
