The past weekend for the UCLA football program included a double ā€œBOOM!ā€ from the Twitter account of Bruins director of player personnel Ethan Young, with the tweets just five minutes apart.

ā€œBOOM!ā€ has been the bat signal for the programā€™s incoming commitments, and Youngā€™s second post Saturday afternoon included ā€œPNW to UCLA!ā€ That first clue hinted at the Pacific Northwest, and 2024 offensive lineman Marquise Thorpe-Taylor of Tacoma, Wash., became the first to step forward with his announcement.

Four days later, 2024 three-star edge rusher Isaiah Patterson stepped forward as the second commit in a social media announcement Wednesday.

Patterson, who teased a ā€œhuge announcementā€ Monday, is the fifth commit of UCLAā€™s 2024 class and the first linebacker. He joins a class that includes Thorpe-Taylor, offensive linemen Joshua Glanz and Mark Schroller and defensive back Khristian Dunbar-Hawkins.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder from Yelm, Wash., also held Pac-12 Conference offers from Arizona State, Oregon and Washington State to go with offers from Boise State, BYU and Nevada.
