That’s 4 receivers Wildcats had added to replace T-Mac’s production
Two years ago, Tre Spivey was one of Arizona’s top in-state recruiting targets but missed out on him. But thanks to the NCAA transfer portal there’s always a chance to make a second impression, and this time the Wildcats came out on top.
The UA has earned a commitment from former Kansas State wide receiver Tre Spivey, who spent two seasons in Manahattan after playing prep football at Chandler Hamilton High School. He was teammates with current Arizona players Taye Brown, Genesis Smith and Grayson Stovall and 2025 signee Dajon Hinton.
Kansas State WR Tre Spivey is expected to transfer to Arizona, @mzenitz and I have learned for @247Sports.

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Spivey appeared in 14 games for Kansas State, catching 16 passes for 184 yards. He had a 3-yard reception in K-State’s 31-7 win over the UA in September.
The son of former Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Junior Spivey, Tre was a 3-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class who visited the UA in June 2022 but ultimately chose K-State. He was the 13th-best prospect in the state that year, two spots behind Smith and six ahead of Brown.
Spivey is one of two wide receivers Arizona added Monday, the other ex-Mercyhurst wideout Cameron Barmore.

Barmore, who is 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds, will be a 6th-year senior looking to translate his performance at the Division II and FCS level to FBS. In five years for the Lakers, which moved up to FCS in 2024, Barmore had 162 catches for 2,299 yards and 28 touchdowns, with this past season seeing him go for 913 yards and 13 TDs on 71 receptions.
Arizona’s transfer count is up to 15, with nine on offense including four at receiver, where it has to replace the production of Tetairoa McMillan among other wideouts.
