Warren receiver Jace Brown announced his commitment to football coach DeShaun Foster and the UCLA Bruins on Thursday.
Brown was on campus for his official visit the weekend of June 22.
“It was a great visit,” Brown said. “It is home. It’s great to be out here with all those great guys and coaches. They really want the best for me.”
The 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver rounded out that weekend back in Westwood for the Bruins’ 7-on-7 tournament. Brown was joined by his Warren teammates, including quarterback Madden Iamaleava.
Iamaleava committed to UCLA in May and had talked with Brown of the duo continuing to play together at the college level.
“I’ve definitely been in his ear a lot,” Iamaleava said in late June. “We have a special connection going on at Warren, so why not take it on to college.”
Brown had a productive spring and caught the eye of UCLA offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy during Warren’s college showcase event.

Bieniemy’s experience as a former coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders didn’t go unnoticed by Brown.
“It plays a really big factor because he has the knowledge and experience of the place that I want to go to, which is the NFL, so it’s great to be around a guy like that,” Brown said.
Brown also had offers from Arizona, Colorado State, Fresno State and Kansas.
