Per Tracy McDannald, Rivals UCLA staff writer:
While other staff headed to Texas, Florida, Washington, and NorCal, UCLA head coach DeShaun Foster and director of player personnel Stacey Ford, among other notable stops, traveled to Newbury Park on Thursday to see 2026 five-star quarterback Brady Smigiel, 2026 three-star receiver Devin Olmande and 2025 three-star receiver Shane Rosenthal.
Smigiel is currently committed to Florida State and Rosenthal is committed to Princeton. Olmande, who recently transferred after playing at West Hills (Calif.) Chaminade last season, said he plans to visit UCLA on Jan. 25. He was among the recruits in attendance at the Rose Bowl when the Bruins hosted Minnesota on Oct. 12.
