DeShaun Foster’s message has been clear to recruits since taking over as UCLA’s head coach: If the NFL is the dream, then Westwood is the place to be.

The pro environment, including the presence of longtime NFL assistant and new Bruins offensive line coach Juan Castillo, is something that has 2025 Spanish Fork (Utah) four-star offensive tackle Aaron Dunn giving UCLA a long, hard look after taking an official visit more than three weeks ago.

“Their sales pitch to me was: we can develop you into an NFL talent, and it doesn’t matter if it takes one year, two years, three years — we’ll get you there,” Dunn told TrojanSports.com publisher Ryan Young in a phone conversation Wednesday night. “I really appreciate that because that’s something that’s my major focus through this process.”
