The UCLA Bruins gained another official visit this week at an important position on offense.
Dylan Sims, a 6′ 6″ tight end from Queen Creek, Arizona, inked a date with the Bruins at the end of May. With his official visit scheduled for May 31st (subscription required), the Bruins and Sims will chat in hopes of securing a commitment from the 2025 graduate.
The Bruins have lacked tight end productivity as of late, and a big-bodied tight end like Sims presents a perfect prospect for them. A potential threat in the red zone, Sims, in Eric Bieniemy’s offense, could prove to be the perfect safety valve for the Bruins quarterback of the future.
The Bruins made an offer to Sims back in March and continue to pursue him strongly. That said, UCLA will need to outbid his home-state school, Arizona State University, in order to secure his commitment. But given the Bruins move to the BIG 10 and their new former NFL offensive coordinator Bieniemy, the Bruins look to be the more attractive destination for Sims.
