Five-star pass rusher Keisean Lucier-South of Orange (Calif.) Lutheran was heading to the Rose Bowl to see UCLA play USC on Saturday night as part of his official visit with the Bruins.

Before the game, he announced on Twitter that he had committed to UCLA.

A U.S. Army All-American, he is ranked as the No. 2 weak-side defensive end and No. 23 prospect overall by the 247Sports Composite. The 6-5, 225-pounder has nearly 30 sacks in the last three seasons, despite being routinely double and triple teamed as his reputation grew.

He chose UCLA over Oregon, Oklahoma and Michigan, among others.

Schools from the Pac-12 and Big 12 were high on Lucier-South’s recruiting list because of their penchant for throwing the ball. He sees other major conferences, such as the SEC, evolving their offenses toward a more wide-open style. He also believes the NFL will begin to veer away from the read-option quarterback that has become popular in recent years, mainly because of the beating those quarterbacks tend to take when running the ball.

Lucier-South is at his best when breaking down pocket protection.

“Some [colleges] want to play him as a 3-4 guy, some want him as a 4-3 defensive end,” coach Chuck Petersen told USA TODAY High School Sports last week. “More than anything, he’s a pass rusher.”

He is the second five-star recruit thus far among UCLA’s 16 recruits; the other is quarterback Josh Rosen from St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.).
