Summary
Bob Chesney’s UCLA recruiting reign has just begun—and it’s already electrifying. Juju Johnson, the 2027 five-star recruit, skyrocketed from 109 to 31 nationally, becoming UCLA’s first five-star since Dante Moore in 2023. Despite missing his entire junior year due to injury, Johnson dominated camps, earned elite praise at The Opening, and showcased elite versatility on both sides of the ball. A track star in the 100, 200, and 400 meters, plus high jump, Johnson also delivered solid defensive stats and touchdown receptions as a sophomore. Listed at 5’11” and 170 lbs, he plays with surprising physicality, ready to fill any role—corner, slot, wherever UCLA needs him. This recruitment win isn’t just about talent—it’s proof Chesney’s eye for greatness can now translate into elite-level success at UCLA.
