The UCLA Bruins 2026 recruiting class may be small at the moment, but DeShaun Foster is quietly putting together a really nice class.
Currently, the Bruins have 8 total commitments and rank 34th nationally, and 11th in the Big Ten. However, there is a buzz around the program, and UCLA is trending positively with many quality prospects.
One of those prospects is 4-star offensive lineman Micah Smith, who just received an expert prediction from On3’s Steve Wiltfong to commit to the UCLA Bruins.
Micah Smith Predicted To Commit To UCLA Bruins
Landing Smith would be a huge get for Foster and the Bruins as he is the 13th-ranked interior offensive lineman in the 2026 class, according to On3 Industry Rankings.
The 6’5, 300-pound prospect from Vero Beach, Florida, has high-profile offers from the likes of Ohio State, Miami, Florida, and others. He took his official visit to UCLA this past weekend, and per Wiltfong, it went very well.

Smith has thought about taking future visits to Alabama, South Carolina, and Ohio State, but based on Wiltfong’s prediction, he could shut it down altogether and set his sights on Westwood.
He would become the second 4-star commitment in the class, joining Utah wide receiver Jaron Pula. He would be the first offensive lineman to commit during this cycle.
