With National Signing Day over, we analyze the 2016 UCLA Football recruiting class position-by-position and look at how these new Bruins fit into their new team.

The 2016 UCLA football recruiting class has turned out to be one of the most impressive for Jim Mora in his time in Westwood.  Not only were the Bruins a Tpop 10 recruiting class before National Signing Day, but several commitments on the day of had the Bruins climb several national rankings.

According to Scout.com, UCLA claimed the #7 class in the country. This is the second best rated class that Mora has brought in since he took over the program in 2012.

Though these rankings are arbitrary and vary from year-to-year, it shows the type of work Mora and his coaching staff are putting in to get the type of guys needed to elevate the program.

The UCLA Football team did just that on National Signing Day 2016 as they landed several key recruits, not just for their national ratings, but to fill specific needs.

With that, we will be looking at each individual position and the players that have committed to the Bruins and analyze what this means for the program going forward.
