As of Tuesday, the day before signing day, UCLA’s recruiting class had earned the No. 10 ranking in the country, according to Scout.com. That’s the best in the Pac-12 Conference.
The Bruins are awaiting a number of high-profile decisions, plus signed letters from their verbal commitments, but there will be no drama surrounding eight players who have already signed letters of intent.
Among them are one of the best receivers in the West, one of the best kickers anywhere and a pair of talented brothers.
Here’s a closer look at UCLA’s early signees:
