Versatility is a necessary but often underrated skill. For the UCLA Bruins, their latest offer looks to add versatility with their latest recruitment offer.
This week, the Bruins offered four-star wide receiver and tight end Jefferson Exinor Jr. Exinor Jr., who stands at 6′ 2″ and 205 lbs, plays both positions at a high level for McDonough High School in Owings Mills, Mayland. The four-star recruit has received competing offers from fellow BIG 10 members Michigan, Michigan State, Oregon, Penn State, Maryland, and USC.
Both a good blocker and natural pass-catcher, Exinor Jr. profiles more as a big-bodied receiver who could make contributions in the running game as a blocker. Given Eric Bieniemy‘s success in Kansas City with tight end Travis Kelce, who many see as a “big slot” or undersized tight end, Exinor Jr. could be a great fit in UCLA’s new offense.
With needs at tight end and receiver for the foreseeable future, if the Bruins can sway Exinor Jr., they could add an adaptable and high-upside offensive player.
