Rated a 3-star safety on 247 Sports, Magloire is the complete package. The Arizona Wildcats got a steal in Paul Magloire when he committed this summer. The #17 safety in the country, #12 JUCO safety in the nation, has great size, speed (4.55 40) and instincts.
The rare combination of his skill set allow Magloire to attack relentlessly from anywhere on the field. He is ranked 5th in tackles in the state of Arizona and 19th in the nation, averaging over eight tackles a game. However a true testament to his speed are his assisted tackles. With 61 assists on the season, Magloire ranks 3rd in Arizona and 10th in the nation. No matter where he is on the field, he will find you and he will hit you, hard.
His highlights against his game from Eastern Arizona, where he tallied seven tackles and two interceptions. Just sit back, relax and be amazed by his sheer speed and hit power.

With his great performance this season, Magloire has still been receiving attention from other schools across the country, despite his hard commitment to Arizona. Iowa State, Oregon and Washington all came into the mix but despite his success, Magloire is ready to bear down in the secondary. Jourdan Grandon, Willy Parks, Cam Denson, Devin Holliday and Jarvis McCall Jr. will all be returning next year, but Magloire should be able to find a role in the secondary. With hard hitting safety Jared Tevis wrapping up his senior year, Magloire seems like the perfect fit to fill that gap.
