John Ward, a 3-star outside linebacker from Palmdale High School, has submitted his National Letter of Intent to the UCLA Bruins, making his commitment official.
When Ward committed to UCLA back in July, we shared his highlight video which he titled the “Best 7 minutes of Your Life.” Since we haven’t really checked in on Ward since then, I thought we’d share a newer video from Ward’s Hudl profile. Ward calls this one the “Palmdale Pain Train,” which shows him inflicting “pain” on Palmdale’s opponents with his play.
Watching a video like this restores my hope in the future for the Bruins because Ward is shown playing primarily inside linebacker on defense, which is another position of need for the the Bruins.
