The UCLA Bruins recruiting buzz continues to grow. Now, the Bruins are now the favorite to land one of their most heavily recruited quarterback prospects according to On3 Recruits (subscription required).
Madden Iamaleava from Warren High School in Downey, California, has been on the Bruins’ wishlist for quite some time. A four-star recruit, Iamaleava received an offer from the Bruins in February and emerged as one of the finalists in March.
A true dual-threat, Iamaleava is a talented 2025 prospect. At 6′ 3″ and 185 pounds, all Iamaleava will need to do before making it to the NCAAs is put on some weight. Other than that, his height, mechanics, and ability prove to be one of the best in his recruiting class.
Though it is unwise for both the Bruins fans and the UCLA coaching staff to put all their eggs in one basket with Iamaleava, he does look to be a potential cornerstone player.
With new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s experience working with Patrick Mahomes, Iamaleava could be molded similarly into an elite-level player.
