Will the very talented prospect be taken on another visit to see the UCLA Bruins or is he likely done when it comes to that front, as he and many others have already started to see the changes that have been made for the UCLA Bruins football program, which can always alter decisions that are made around that program, such as commitments or visits?

  • "Yeah, I'm hoping to visit UCLA again soon. I want to go see the players and the coaching staff. I would like to see the new stuff and the change."

Who are the current schools that are standing out for the talented prospect at this time, as he continues to look at the schools that have already started to reach out to him, as well as potentially offer him on the trail, as he is one of the better prospects in the nation?

What would the UCLA Bruins have to do when it comes to the recruiting trail in order to move up?

  • "For UCLA to move up in my rankings, it's all about showing me how I can develop as a player and a person there. I want to see a clear plan for my growth and how I'd contribute to the team's success."
