Synopsis: Wood is another redshirt senior without much starting experience. His lone start was in the Fiesta Bowl. He has played in only 10 games over a three-year span. Wood told reporters Tuesday that he has gained 20 to 25 pounds since last season and that he is comfortable with Arizona’s playing book. “I worked hard over the summer and got some good weight back,” Wood said. Woods added that he has gained the trust of the offensive line, which is important with him at center. … Hemmila is ready to contribute more in his fourth year in the program. He played in all 14 games last year as a reserve after playing on the scout team in his first two seasons, his first redshirting while as a freshman.
