The UCLA Bruins have landed a commitment from safety Kiingbaraka Kizzee, a highly touted player in the 2029 high school class.
Kizzee finished his freshman season with 15 tackles, one interception, and three pass breakups, according to MaxPreps.
He is listed at 6-3 and 185 pounds, with a strong combination of size and athleticism.
This commitment is a massive win for Bob Chesney and the Bruins, as Kizzee is a top prospect in the 2029 class.
Other top college football programs, including California, Oregon, USC, Washington, and Notre Dame, had offered Kizzee early.
The Bruins' next game is against the California Golden Bears on 2026-09-06.
Kizzee's commitment could give other top prospects, such as 2028 wide receiver DJ Tubbs, confidence to commit to the Bruins.
Bob Chesney's recruiting efforts have transformed UCLA football into a premier destination for top high school talent.
The Bruins are ranked 12th by 247Sports in the 2027 class, with top recruits like 4-star Matthew Gregory and Jackson Roper.
Chesney has also brought in 5-star prospect Juju Johnson, who has jumped up boards.
The Bruins' recruiting class has been super impactful to the program, making an impression on future prospects.
Kizzee's size and speed make him a strong fit as a free safety, and he has also shown the ability to line up as a cornerback.
The commitment of Kizzee is a significant win for the Bruins, as they continue to build a strong recruiting class.
