UCLA recruits rising 2028 QB Jaxson Carper amid strong competition

Summary

UCLA is ramping up its recruitment of 2028 quarterback Jaxson Carper from St. Bonaventure High, as new head coach Bob Chesney aims to strengthen local ties. Carper, coached by former Rams player Troy Hill, has achieved increased attention following an impressive summer workout at UCLA. With Arizona currently leading the race for Carper, the Bruins are intensifying their efforts after being unable to secure top targets from the 2027 class. Hill's coaching connections could play a significant role in Carper's decision as the Bruins seek to reclaim their presence in Ventura County recruiting.
