Football: Receiver Theo Howard of Westlake picks UCLA

UCLA has gained a huge commitment in picking up receiver Theo Howard from Westlake.

Howard, known for his speed, hands and instincts, is an important recruit at a position of need for the Bruins.

With quarterback Josh Rosen only a freshman, Howard’s arrival should make Rosen even more effective. He’s expected to enroll early.

Now the Bruins will focus on Corona Centennial receiver Javon McKinley, the most talented uncommitted recruit at the receiver position.
