Christian Powell (Upland, Calif.) took his fifth and final official visit this past weekend, to UCLA. The talented fullback could be making his decision within the next few days.
Powell had previously visited Washington, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Colorado and went into his final visit with the Buffs and Bruins leading the way.
“I had a great visit, I really enjoyed myself there,” Powell said. “My mom came with me and she loved it too. She really wants me to stay local and loves the academics at UCLA. We did the campus tour, saw the Rose Bowl, and the football facilities. UCLA is a real nice place for sure, and one of the best campuses I’ve ever seen.
