The 2018 UCLA Football recruiting class got another addition yesterday when Chris Bleich, an offensive tackle from Wyoming Valley High School in Plymouth, Pennsylvania announced his commitment to the Bruins.

Bleich had originally committed to Penn State, but had re-opened his recruiting process. According to 247Sports, he was thought to be a Nebraska lean but also had offers from Maryland, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Virginia Tech.

Bleich announced his commitment on Twitter.

Here’s the full text of his announcement.
