UCLA lands commitment from 2024 OLB Isaiah Patterson
The past weekend for the UCLA football program included a double “BOOM!” from the Twitter account of Bruins director of player personnel Ethan Young, with the tweets just five minutes apart.
“BOOM!” has been the bat signal for the program’s incoming commitments, and Young’s second post Saturday afternoon included “PNW to UCLA!” 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 “huge announcement” Monday, is the fifth commit of UCLA’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.
