UCLA RB commit Karson Cox gets bump in recruiting rankings

Karson Cox also moves up the rankings.

The Bruins offense of the future is starting to shape up. This week, one of the Bruins best commitments of the year got a bump in the recruiting ranks.

Four-star running back Karson Cox is now ranked as the 32nd-best prospect in California and the 28th-best at his position. Cox, who stands at 6′ and 190 pounds, is already built for the next level in college football.

The Oak Hills High School running back from Hesperia, California, is a talented back with great explosiveness at the line of scrimmage and true break-away speed. Operating mostly from the shotgun in a spread offense, Cox’s skills will likely be in line with new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s style.  

With Cox and Madden Iamaleava both committed to the Bruins in the class of 2025, the Bruins have the making of a talented offense coming down the pipe. If they can secure a few more big-name recruits this season, they could have a truly great offense in the future.

UCLA gets huge commitment from 4-star RB Karson Cox

Welcome to Westwood!

Over the weekend, the UCLA Bruins football program landed a prediction for Class of 2025 running back Karson Cox. On Tuesday, Cox made his decision official by committing to the Bruins, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.

“BREAKING: Four-Star RB Karson Cox has Committed to UCLA, he tells me for @on3recruits.

The 6’0 205 RB from Hesperia, CA chose the Bruins over Arizona State and Oklahoma State”

Cox potentially coming to Westwood had fans buzzing as DeShaun Foster and his staff have unlocked a new wave of recruiting potential. Now with him coming on board, this is a huge boost to the 2025 recruiting class as he is one of the top running backs in the class.

Here’s a view of Cox making his decision on Instagram live, and it’s safe to say him being able to stay in Southern California is a big boost.

Cox chimed in on what made UCLA stand out, per Steve Wiltfong of On3.

“What made UCLA right for me was the new coaching staff, the new Fos Era that is happening,” Cox told On3. “The energy that new whole coaching staff has of turning the team back into national competitors.”

Cox also put the #WelcometotheFosEra hashtag that went viral in support of the new Bruins head coach over the weekend.

UCLA football gets expert prediction by On3 for 4-star RB

Bruins get a BIG prediction here…

The UCLA Bruins football program is working hard on the recruiting trail. All in all, it’s quite the change from the Chip Kelly days, and fans were not happy when Kelly was recently spotted in Southern California recruiting.

But, the Bruins were given an expert prediction by Steve Wiltfong of On3 late Sunday night for Class of 2025 running back Karson Cox.

UCLA is currently trending for Cox, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). On3’s Steve Wiltfong logged an expert prediction Sunday evening with a 60 percent confidence level for the Bruins to land Cox. UCLA now leads at 82.4 percent in the RPM.

Cox was reportedly on a visit to Westwood recently and plays high school football at Oak Hills in Hesperia, so staying local could be a big bonus for both sides.

If DeShaun Foster can reel in the No. 9 ranked running back in the Class of 2025, it would be a massive get.
