It was just six months ago that UCLA signed a 2024 high school football class that was ranked 85th on Rivals and it didn’t look like change was coming anytime soon.

Yet, in less than less than four full months since taking over following Chip Kelly’s departure to Ohio State, first-time head coach DeShaun Foster and the revamped staff have the Bruins in the top 30 of the 2025 class after landing a ninth commit — eight of which have come since his hire in mid-February.

UCLA got its second commitment in as many days Tuesday when Oakdale (Conn.) St. Thomas More three-star defensive tackle Tyler Partlow announced his pledge to the Bruins via social media.

Partlow is the ninth commit in the class, joining quarterback Madden Iamaleava, inside linebacker Weston Port, linebacker/defensive end Scott Taylor, cornerbacks Kuron Jabari Jr. and Chase Coleman, tight ends Dylan Sims and Noah Flores and running back Karson Cox.

Partlow, like Sims the day before, committed and was part of this past weekend’s group of official visitors.

The 6-foot-4 lineman was offered after visiting for UCLA’s spring showcase April 27.

The addition continues the momentum and change in approach by the Bruins, who failed to sign a high school defensive lineman in the 2024 class.

Partlow’s commitment moved UCLA up one spot in the Rivals rankings to 30th nationally. The Bruins are two commitments shy of matching the program’s 11-man high school class from last year before the summer gets going.
