Scouting Report
Approved · Dec 7, 2021
Tetairoa McMillan was named California's Gatorade Player of the Year on the heels of a strong senior season. He played on both sides of the ball for Anaheim (Calif.) Servite, totaling 1,302 yards (14.8 yards per catch) and 18 touchdowns on 88 catches at receiver and eight interceptions as a safety.
Tetairoa McMillan didn't take long to make an impression on Arizona coach Brent Brennan when he took over in Tucson. “Just blown away,” Brennan said. “It was something you saw right away. The first time I saw him step on the field I was just blown away by his body control, his route running, and his ability to finish on the ball. It’s unlike anyone I’ve ever seen. I’m a receiver guy by trade, right? That’s what I coached. So, I remembered him in high school when he was breaking records and dominating both in football and in volleyball. He's so special." During his first two seasons at Arizona, McMillan caught 129 passes for 2,104 yards, good for 16.8 per catch and 18 touchdowns. That includes doubling his receptions and yardage as a sophomore with a team-high tying 90 catches and 1,402 yards to go with 10 scores.
