Halalilo is the 2nd lineman from Rancho Verde to commit to the Bruins in the last 3 years following redshirt freshman Poasi Moala

Halalilo’s commitment continues the #BruinRevolution of offensive linemen making their way to Westwood. Head Coach Jim Mora and Offensive Line Coach Adrian Klemm have done an excellent job of getting the Bruin’s front line stacked with big, talented players in the last few years. Along with the sixteen that are currently on the Bruin’s roster, UCLA also has 6’8″, 280 lbs. offensive tackle Kolton Miller coming in the fall.
