Tetairoa McMillan born in Waimanalo, Hawaii, but he relocated to California at age 12, later shining as the University of Arizona’s top recruit. His freshman year impressed fans; he led all first-year players nationwide in receiving yards.

After coach Jedd Fisch left, McMillan decided to stay with the Wildcats and cemented his leadership. The 2024 season began with a stunning performance—10 catches, 304 yards and four touchdowns, setting a school record.

By the time the season got over, he was third in national receiving yards, claimed All-American honors and vied for the Biletnikoff Award. With his name now carved into Arizona’s legacy, McMillan prepares to test NFL defenses and build on a remarkable foundation.
