Three-star athlete Octavius Spencer commits to UCLA

Three-star athlete Octavius Spencer has committed to UCLA, announcing his decision on Tuesday morning.

The 5-foot-11, 176-pound prospect is rated as a safety by Rivals.com and a cornerback by Scout.com, but also caught eight touchdowns and tallied more than 700 return yards at Monrovia (Calif.) High — the same school that produced current UCLA defensive lineman Ellis McCarthy.

Spencer is UCLA’s second commitment in a little over a week, following four-star defensive back Colin Samuel’s announcement for the Bruins last Tuesday.
