Juju Walls made good on his promise earlier this month and was quick with his college decision.
More than two weeks after landing an offer and making UCLA one of his two finalists, the Pittsburg (Calif.) three-star defensive end announced his commitment Wednesday evening to the Bruins’ 2025 recruiting class.
“I would like to thank the entire UCLA Football staff for granting not only my dream, but also allowing me the opportunity to showcase my talents as a BRUIN,” Walls wrote as part of a four-part statement on his social media account shortly after announcing the decision.
Walls told Bruin Blitz after picking up the UCLA offer Aug. 4 that the staff “stuck strong” with him after attending the program’s prospect camp in June.
After watching Walls in March at the Rivals Camp Series stop in Southern California, Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney wrote that he “plays off the edge like he was shot out of a cannon.”
Walls is the 17th scholarship commitment in UCLA’s class and 19th overall including preferred walk-ons. He is also high school teammates with fellow commit and four-star safety Jadyn Hudson.
