Olaijah Griffin provided a boost to the UCLA Bruins' 2018 football recruiting class Sunday after committing to the school, Scout.com's Greg Biggins reported.
Griffin is one of the premier players in the next year's incoming class, with the 4-star prospect ranking as the No. 55 overall recruit, according to Scout.com. He's also listed as the ninth-best cornerback and the second-rated player at the position from the state of California.
The Mission Viejo High School star is ranked as a corner, but he also has experience playing wide receiver. While there's a chance he could develop into a useful asset on both sides of the ball, his main focus at the outset in college will likely be defense.
