Luke Kaumatule trips to UCLA 

Stanford commit Luke Kaumatule (Honolulu, Hawaii/Punahou) took an official visit to UCLA over the weekend. The standout defensive end said it was a great trip and he’ll take two more visits while he awaits word on whether he’ll be cleared by Stanford’s admissions.

“I had a great experience at UCLA,” Kaumatule said. “I really liked the new staff and spent a lot of quality time with all the coaches. Coach Inoke [Breckterfield] has been recruiting me all year and even though he won’t be coaching the defensive line any more, he said he still plans to stay in a football ops role. I spent time with him and also with Angus McClure and Coach [Jim] Mora. Coach McClure is a great guy, very humble but fun to be around.

“They showed me the defense they plan to run, which will be a 3-4 but have multiple looks to it. I think I fit in there pretty well as a defensive end and could make a lot of plays. UCLA has an incredible campus, it’s by the beach and next to Beverly Hills and Bellaire. It’s one of the top public universities in the country and the most applied to school as well.”
