UCLA caps 2016 class with five-star linebacker Mique Juarez

Five-star linebacker Mique Juarez has picked UCLA, marking the biggest addition to the Bruins’ impressive 2016 recruiting class.

The North Torrance High star announced his decision on Wednesday afternoon, picking up a UCLA hat over Alabama, Ole Miss and BYU. He is just the second top-10 consensus national prospect to join the Bruins during Jim Mora’s tenure, following quarterback Josh Rosen.

Juarez was a two-way threat in high school, and could quickly fill the type of dynamic role that Myles Jack did at UCLA for a little over two seasons before tearing his meniscus this past September.
