Arizona: 1L... Zendejas takes over the kicking duties in 2009 after getting his feet wet as a redshirt freshman... Appeared in four 2008 games... Busiest in opener vs. Idaho, with 51-yard punt, a kickoff and 3-for-3 on PAT tries... Also kicked PATs against the Washington schools, and had two kickoffs each against WSU and Oregon... His average landing spot on five kickoff plays - 2 yard-line... Zendejas could factor in some part of the kicking game in 2008 after a redshirt season in 2007... Appeared to have a chance at game action until Jason Bondzio's consistency afforded him the chance to apprentice... Has good range and minimally will give UA outstanding depth...

High School: Ironwood High School, Glendale, Ariz., 2007... PrepStar All-West... SuperPrep All Farwest... Arizona Republic first-team all-state...59-yard field goal against South Mountain High in 2006, and also a 53-yarder, among his eight-for-13 effort...

Top 12 `notable' citation at Chris Sailer National Kicking Competition, with a 4.5-star rating from the people who know...

Personal: Academic major is sociology... Wildcat football history from A to Z always ends with mention of Alex Zendejas' uncle, famed place kicker Max Zendejas... Max was 1985 All-American and is UA school career scoring leader who later had a stint with the Packers... Alex spent a lot of time working with Max after his senior season... Comes from a large family of noted kickers and soccer players: uncles Luis and Alan both kicked at Arizona State, with Luis going on to Dallas and Philadelphia in the NFL... Uncle Tony kicked at Nevada-Reno and with the Oilers and Rams... Father, Alex, kicked at Scottsdale Community College... Date of birth: Aug. 17, 1989.
