He’s currently rated a four-star prospect and the No. 364 player nationally in the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services.
The Bruins will host Illinois on Friday, Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. PT at the Rose Bowl. The game will air on FOX. The majority of the remaining UCLA kick times won't be announced until either a week or two before the games.
