Five-star DE Jaelan Phillips doubles down on UCLA commitment

After several UCLA commits backed off their early pledges to the Bruins, five-star weakside defensive end Jaelan Phillips reaffirmed his commitment on Sunday.

One day after three-star defensive back Jeffrey Manning Jr. announced his decommitment, Phillips tweeted he is “1000 percent committed” to UCLA and “always will be.”

Manning was the fourth early commit to withdraw his pledge since May.
