The UCLA Bruins just got even bigger up front with the addition of offensive tackle Ronald Rudd III, who announced his commitment to UCLA Monday, via Twitter.
Rudd, a 6'7" JUCO transfer was ranked the No. 3 junior college player in California.
In his announcement, Rudd wrote a heart-felt letter to his family and coaches at Chaffey College where he spent just one season.
With all of the departures from last year's unit — senior Jake Brendel and juniors Caleb Benenoch and Alex Redmond heading for the NFL and Fred Ulu-Perry transferred to Hawaii — the Bruins are going to need all the help up front they can get. Locking in the 6-foot-7, 317-pound Rudd can go a long way in ensuring the drop off is minimal.
