Go Joe Bruin takes a look at the 2017 recruiting class for the UCLA Football team after a successful National Signing Day.

What looked to be a slow start for the UCLA Football team on the recruiting trail, turned out to be a strong finish for the Bruins.

UCLA finished National Signing Day with a Top 20 recruiting class, and even though many would say it is not as potent as previous seasons, it actually has turned out to be a very talented and deep class.

So let us take a look at who UCLA is bringing to Westwood in our National Signing Day Recap.

UCLA Football Recruits – Offense

Kanan Ray, Offensive Guard, Sierra Canyon HS/Chatsworth, CA

Committed: 3/4/16

Kanan Ray played an integral part in UCLA’s 2017 recruiting class. Not only was he the longest lasting commit, he also helped build the foundation for the class, helping bring in the likes of Jaelan Phillips, Darnay Holmes, and Greg Rogers. The Sierra Canyon standout brings forward big size, tremendous technique, and a hard work ethic. Expect him to compete for a starting job this fall.

Jimmy Jaggers, Tight End, Roseville HS/Roseville, CA

Committed: 8/14/16

The Bruins beat out a number of Power 5 universities to land in-state tight end Jimmy Jaggers. Jaggers brings exceptional size and ball skills to a position of uncertainty on the depth chart.

Austin Burton, Quarterback, West Orange HS/Winter Garden, FL

Committed: 8/22/16

Burton camped with the Bruins last summer. He made a big statement with his performance and landed an offer just weeks later. The former Boston College commit wasted no time announcing his pledge to the Bruins, committing before the end of the summer.

Jax Wacaser, Offensive Tackle, Saguaro HS, Scottsdale, AZ

Committed: 1/11/17

UCLA continued it’s success in the state of Arizona landing Saguaro offensive guard Jax Wacaser on January 11. With the o-line depth being a major concern, expect Wacaser to compete for a starting job this fall.
