Punter Bailey Raborn committed to UCLA’s 2016 class on Tuesday morning, completing what could be the Bruins’ special teams trio of the future.
Ranked No. 2 at his position by Chris Sailer Kicking, the Louisiana native committed soon after receiving his offer. He participated in UCLA’s specialist camp at Spaulding Field last Thursday.
Words can't describe how excited I am to receive a offer from UCLA, and also be able to commit to such an amazing school. #GoBruins

Raborn’s commitment follows that of kicker JJ Molson, who announced for the Bruins earlier this month, and longsnapper Johnny Den Bleyker, who did so in March.
UCLA is entering the 2015 season with senior punter Matt Mengel, a last-minute JUCO transfer who was eighth in the conference at 40.2 yards per punt. He punted 59 times last fall, sending seven at least 50 yards and placing 20 inside the 20-yard line.
