Over the last four days, several UCLA Football commits and prospects displayed their skills for the world to see. Some shined brighter than others and that is good for UCLA as one Bruin commit made a huge impact.
UCLA commit Jaelan Phillips, a 5-star defensive end, was named to The Opening’s Final 5 Linemen, an MVP group, of sorts. That, I can guarantee you, put a smile on the face of UCLA Football fans that love defense.
But he was not alone in turning heads. UCLA targets Jack Sears, Najee Harris and Thomas Graham, Jr. were a few others that were lighting things up at the weekend event.
Here are a few happenings from The Opening…
