Austin Burton, Fr.

Originally committed to Boston College, Burton decided to take his talents to the west coast and sign with UCLA.

Unless the Bruins QB corp gets decimated by injuries, I can’t see the Massachusetts native seeing any action this year

His best option would be to redshirt, learn the playbook, and get a ton of reps on the scout team.

He could be a four year player that ends up playing the role of an experienced backup in certain situations.

Luckily for the Bruins, their depth at the quarterback position in the upcoming years will be much deeper than we have recently seen.
