The UCLA Bruins 2019 football recruiting class added another commitment tonight when three-star linebacker John Ward from Palmdale High School announced his commitment to the Bruins.
Ward made the announcement tonight on Twitter.
One current Bruin who is excited to have Ward join UCLA is linebacker Rahyme Johnson. Johnson immediately sent a congratulatory tweet.
Ward’s Hudl.com profile lists him at 6’4” tall and weighing 225 pounds. It also lists Ward with a 235-lb. bench press, 315-lb. squat, 370-lb. deadlift, and 200-lb. clean. While Ward also plays QB at Palmdale, his future at UCLA appears to be on defense based on the fact that it looks like Bruin linebacker coach Don Pellum has been recruiting him,
After watching his highlight reel, this much is clear: John Ward is a hard hitter who finds a way to get across the field to make tackles.
