Bruin Blitz recruiting analyst Matt Moreno stopped by the Mission Viejo passing tournament Saturday to get an update on 2026 Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei wide receiver Koen Parnell after some recent movement in UCLA's recruiting class at the position.
Plus, a fast-rising, local four-star tight end who made a huge jump into a national recruit this spring has the Bruins' coaching staff looking to get him on campus.
It's been three days since twin receivers Jaron and Kennan Pula backed off their pledge to UCLA. Parnell, meanwhile, is 12 days removed from his participation at the UCLA prospect camp that let him know he could move up the Bruins' list if a spot opened up.
