The new UCLA football coaching staff has been in touch with one of their top recruits arriving in 2027.
Weston Port, the former San Juan Hills High standout linebacker, is finishing up his second year as a Mormon missionary on assignment in Spain.
New linebacker coach Vic So’oto has been in contact with Port and once tried to recruit him to Cal.
Port exercises when he has time while visiting various cities. His mission ends in December and he’ll be ready to join UCLA for spring practice in 2027 while focusing on getting back into playing shape.
His father said in a message, “Weston remains committed to UCLA and is eager and excited to get back to football once his service is completed.”
