Martin Andrus, Defensive Tackle, Los Angeles Senior HS/ Los Angeles, CA

Committed: 1/16/17

Martin Andrus adds depth to a defensive line unit plagued by recent departures to the NFL. Andrus has an excellent motor to go along with great size that will project well in the future in UCLA’s defensive scheme.

Rahyme Johnson, Linebacker, Salesian HS/Los Angeles, CA

Committed: 1/16/17

Johnson was initially the first recruit to commit to UCLA in the 2017 class. However, the Salesian star linebacker decommitted in the spring of 2016 to reevaluate his decision. Coach White stayed on Johnson constantly and landed his commitment again in January via Bleacher Report video with former teammate Martin Andrus.

Morrell Osling, Cornerback, Antelope Valley HS/Lancaster, CA

Committed: 1/18/17

Just days following his high school teammate’s commitment, Morrell Osling decided to flip from Colorado to UCLA to join Robinson-Carr in Westwood.

Committed: 1/18/17

The Bruins landed a pledge from one of the top players in Arizona just two weeks before signing day beating out schools such as Arizona, Arizona State, Yale, and Colorado

Elijah Gates, Defensive Back, Buena Park HS/Buena Park, CA

Committed: 1/23/17

After a long, hard fought battle with the Oregon Ducks, the Bruins landed a pledge from one of the nation’s premier defensive backs in Buena Park HS Elijah Gates. Gates will have the opportunity to compete for playing time as a true freshman as Fabian Moreau heads to the NFL.
