Arizona flips 4-star offensive lineman Justin Morales from Kansas State

The Arizona Wildcats finished off the 2025 season very hot, winning their last five games, to include the Territorial Cup this past Friday. But wins on the field aren’t the only things Brent Brennan’s crew is racking up. They are also getting it done on the recruiting trail.

On Sunday, a few days before the start of the December Signing Period, 4-star Texas offensive lineman Justin Morales announced his flip from Kansas State to Arizona.

Morales was a long-time member of the Kansas State Wildcats’ 2026 class, announcing his commitment at the beginning of June following an official visit to Manhattan. The 6-foot-4, 280 pound lineman who plays at Franklin High School in El Paso has been a constant target for Arizona’s staff.

Morales has 15 reported offers, with him choosing Arizona over Baylor, Kansas State, Arizona State, Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Wisconsin and others.

He is a 4-star prospect in both the 247Sports Composite and Internal rankings. He is listed as the No. 311 player nationally, No. 30 offensive tackle and the 38th player in Texas in the Composite. Internally, 247 has him as the No. 31 offensive tackle and the 54th player in Texas.

Morales joins a solid offensive line class in Arizona’s 2026 squad. Malachi Joyner is the other 4-star lineman, however, the class also includes Michael Langi, Nathan Allen and Khalil Sanogo.
