Two-star fullback Jalen Starks committed to UCLA football Thursday night after receiving an offer earlier in the day, Bruin Report Online initially reported.
The 6-foot-1, 240-pound junior rushed for 897 yards during the past season at Crespi Carmelite High School, averaging 6.5 yards per carry and scoring 11 touchdowns. He is currently ranked as the nation’s No. 112 running back.
“UCLA was my dream school and I knew if they offered, that’s where I was going,” Starks told Bruin Report Online. “I just committed to UCLA and it’s like a dream come true. I can’t even describe it.”
Starks’ verbal commitment makes him the 11th member of UCLA’s 2016 class.
