Spring game action
New UCLA commits spotted at Rose Bowl
General manager Darrick Yray and the program have secured commitments from five 2027 blue-chip prospects in the last 48 hours. The Bruins jumped into the top 10 in the Rivals team rankings before the spring game officially got underway.
BRO saw a handful of the newest commits on the sideline, including four-star Long Beach Poly cornerback JuJu Johnson and Colorado-based four-star offensive lineman Jackson Roper.
