3. Myles Jack

2013, 4-star, OLB, #65 National Rank, #4 Position Rank

Though he was a top athlete in his class, Myles Jack was overshadowed by a few other players in his recruiting class. That did not stop him from making an impact.

The UCLA coaches knew that he had talent but nobody exactly knew what he would bring to the table until he got on the field.

Jack was one of the higher rated recruits in the 2013 class, what he did on the field was enough to show that his signing with the Bruins was one of the best things that ever happened to Mora in his tenure.

Myles Jack blew us away as a freakishly athletic linebacker who could rush the edge as well as cover wide receivers.

And then we find out he has one of the best short yardage running backs UCLA has had in recent history, which blew everyone’s mind. At one point, he was even tween with the idea of returning kicks.

Though his college career was cut short with a early-season injury in 2016, he will still be remembered as one of the more athletic specimens to wear blue and gold under Mora.
