Cornerback Jalen Ortiz (Peoria, Ariz./Centennial) took his first official visit this past weekend and it could prove tough to beat. The 5-foot-9, 167-pound two-way threat was on hand for UCLA's win over Nebraska and came away impressed with the Bruins.
"Obviously it was a good game and the fans were going crazy," Ortiz said. "It was intense and that was great to see. I felt really comfortable there. It was my third trip down there, but it was probably better than I expected."
Ortiz was hosted on his visit by running back Paul Perkins, another Arizona athlete and someone Ortiz already knew. He also had a chance to speak at length with Y receivers coach Marques Tuiasosopo, as UCLA is one school in particular that sees Ortiz coming in to help on the offensive side of the ball.
