Four-star athlete Rahyme Johnson becomes UCLA’s first 2017 commit

There are still 194 days left until UCLA’s next group of recruits can sign their letters of intent, but Rahyme Johnson is already looking ahead.

With more than 500 days left until his own National Signing Day, the four-star athlete announced his commitment to the Bruins on Friday, becoming the first member of their 2017 class. He’s also ranked a three-star outside linebacker by Rivals.com, as well as one of the top 25 recruits in California.

Johnson has more of a receiver’s build right now at 6-foot-4, 196 pounds, but still has two seasons left at Los Angeles Salesian to fill out his frame.
