JUCO OL Ronald Rudd commits to UCLA

UCLA picked up its fifth commit in the 2017 class as junior college offensive lineman Ronald Rudd III tweeted his pledge to the Bruins on Monday morning.

The 6-foot-7, 305-pound offensive tackle from Chaffey College spoke to Rivals’ Edward Lewis about the commitment, saying he doesn’t plan to visit other schools now. He chose UCLA over Missouri, Louisville, Baylor and Arizona State, among others.

For the 2017 class, the Bruins also have verbal commitments from defensive ends Jaelan Phllips and Hunter Echols, offensive lineman Kanan Ray and defensive back Jeffrey Manning.
