Here is what Fernandez told 247 Sports after visiting Arizona:
Note: Arizona has updated their roster so I am catching up on players that weren't on the roster when their number came up.“I like the new staff a lot and the culture that Jedd Fisch is building. I like the heat as well, I’m a warm weather guy and just felt really comfortable on my official visit. Arizona is one of those schools that if football was taken away, I would still be comfortable living there and getting my degree. I loved the players on the team too, everyone was great to be around and there’s definitely a lot of excitement going on there.”
