Sophomore running back Jonah Coleman announced on social media Sunday that he’s transferring from Arizona to Washington.

The 5-foot-9, 225-pound Coleman played in every game last season, leading the Wildcats in rushing with 871 yards and was tied for the team lead in touchdowns with five.

Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke is out after seven years with the school.

The announcement comes after the school’s football coach, Jedd Fisch, left to coach at Washington and took much of his coaching staff, and some players, with him.

It also comes in the midst of major financial troubles with the school.

Heeke announced a plan last week to help the university recover from a $240 million miscalculation of projected cash on hand.

Arizona’s athletic department is still on the hook to repay a $55 million loan issued during the pandemic.
