The UCLA Bruins have made steady progress in their recruiting since the departure of Chip Kelly this spring. Kelly famously failed to capitalize on recruiting local talent, but things have changed under Southern California native DeShaun Foster.
Under Foster, the Bruins have secured commitments from some top-level players including Warren High School quarterback Madden Iamaleava. This week, the Bruins extended an offer to a four-star wide receiver to potentially pair up with Iamaleava.
Trent Mosely, a class of 2026 prospect, ranks as the 13th-best wide receiver in the country, according to 247 Sports. The Bruins secured a commitment from Mosely’s teammate, fellow wideout Jonah Smith, and could potentially be building a pipeline with the program.
I’m very Excited and Blessed to receive an offer from the University of California Los Angeles!🐻#gobruins @BrandonHuffman@247recruiting @GregBiggins @CoachRouz @adamgorney @Rivals @DeShaunFoster26 pic.twitter.com/84g7k1eZ6V

Mosley has qualifying offers from other NCAA heavy-hitters including rival USC, Alabama, Oregon, and Michigan. But if UCLA can put together a similar pitch as they did for Smith, they could have a chance to start stacking high-level players on offense for the future.
