The UCLA Bruins hosted a tremendous collection of talent on official visits this weekend, but perhaps no position group shone as much as the defensive backfield.

Jermaine Kelly (Los Angeles/Salesian) showed up in Seattle for Washington’s first big recruiting weekend of the season in late September.
At the time, the 6-foot-1, 171-pound cornerback was committed to UCLA. The Huskies were preparing to play Stanford, and Kelly stood on the sideline watching pregame warmups with defensive backs Chris Hawkins (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif./Rancho Cucamonga), a USC commit, and Johnny Johnson (Fresno, Calif./Central East).
The smile on his face, and the purple and white scarf wrapped around his neck, made it clear Kelly was enjoying the experience. Then, after Washington finished off a 17-13 win over Stanford, he disappeared into the sea of students storming the field.
