In this story:


The UCLA Bruins have been one of the better programs across the nation when it comes to recruiting, as they have been able to get off to a hot start in the 2027 recruiting class.

Before losing their head football coach to the decision of being fired the UCLA Bruins had three commitments in the 2027 class but at this moment in which this article is being typed out the Bruins still have a total of two commitments in the 2027 class which is far more than some teams have as it is still very early in the cycle and they aren't the cycle that is in the spotlight considering the class of 2026 has yet to sign.

One of the targets that they have been after is Jeremiah Williams. Williams recently caught up with UCLA Bruins On SI. This is what he had to say when he caught up with UCLA Bruins On SI about his UCLA uncertainty.

He then would go into active conversation to the length of discussing which schools have started to stand out to him, as well as why those schools in specific stand out to him at this time. Here is what he had to say in the conversation.

  • "For sure, ASU after this weekend's visit. I had the privilege of meeting the whole staff, and got a chance to see the campus and the facility. Got to meet Head Coach Dillingham and had a great conversation with him."
  • "The environment was great, especially during the game, which is something I can see myself playing at. Notre Dame - I love the campus and building a great relationship with Coach Al. Penn State - they got great coaches over there and we’re building a great relationship. Hoping to visit the campus soon this year."
