With the commitments of four-star cornerback JuJu Johnson<\/a> from Long Beach Poly and three-star running back Jayshon Gibson<\/a> from North Richland Hills (Tex.) Richland, the UCLA football 2027 recruiting class has moved up the rankings \u2014 again. <\/p>\n

After the commitments of four-star cornerback Jerry Outhouse<\/a> and four-star defensive tackle George Toia<\/a> on Friday, UCLA\u2019s class shot up to No. 12 in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. <\/p>\n

Now it moves to No. 10, jumping over both Miami and LSU. <\/p>\n

UCLA is still 4th in the Big Ten, behind USC, Ohio State and Oregon \u2014 but closing pretty fast. <\/p>\n

(These prospect rankings are from the Rivals Industry Rankings, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services; it\u2019s not the Rivals rankings, which has Gibson as a four-star.)<\/p>\n

According to the Rivals Industry Rankings, UCLA has 8 four-star recruits committed, and 14 committed prospects total. If it just modestly fills out the rest of its 2027 recruiting class, the commitments it already has probably guarantees a top-25 finish, and maybe even top 15.<\/p>\n

This is all happening just five months since Bob Chesney became UCLA\u2019s head football coach and, obviously, turned around the culture and recruiting effectiveness of the program.<\/p>\n

And from what we\u2019re hearing, UCLA will probably continue to add to its 2027 recruiting haul in the next several days. How high in the team rankings can UCLA go?<\/p>\n
