It is the very first early signing period and Go Joe Bruin follows the action of several high school players committed to the UCLA football team as they take the next step and sign their National Letters of Intent.

The UCLA football team is in a time of transition with the hiring of Chip Kelly. Not only is the team”s coaching staff being altered, but so is the recruiting class.

Go Joe Bruin previously detailed what the transition could mean with several decommits, but also looked toward the future with the several top targets giving second thought to the Bruins and several others taking the next step as they officially commit. Today, several of those players will take the step after that and officially become members of the UCLA football team and sign their National Letters of Intent.

Though National Signing Day does not take place until Wednesday, February 7, 2018, the NCAA has offered up an early signing period which began today and will last 72 hours. With that in mind, Go Joe Bruin will keep you updated all day on the newest players to join the blue and gold.

First let us take a look at the players that have committed to UCLA, then look at the players that are cementing their pledge early. This page will update throughout the day as NLIs are received.
