National Signing Day: UCLA Football’s Top 5 Signings in the Jim Mora Era
4. Theo Howard
2016, 4-star, WR, #49 National Rank, #7 Position Rank
Theo Howard was another prospect that had flipped over to the Bruins. Howard was committed to the Oregon Ducks early in the 2016 recruiting cycle, but saw an opportunity at UCLA.
After a change of heart, the Westlake High School product wanted to stay closer to home and play for an up-and-coming offense.
Howard was going to be the speedster that UCLA have been lacking in the last several years. On top of that he has incredible hands and was hoped to be a savior of sorts in the passing game.
Though that hasn’t happened yet, but from what we saw in 2016, Howard has a lot to offer the Bruins and could be one of their go to guys in 2017.
