New Rochelle (N.Y.) Iona Prep cornerback Justin Combs (5-9, 170), has spent much of his life on the East Coast. But he plans to spend his college years out West, heading to the Golden State to play his college football.
“I’m committed to UCLA,” said Combs. “I was silently committed to UCLA for a while, but now was the time.”

A day after Rick Neuheisel was fired as the Bruins’ head coach was not a worry for Combs.
“I have faith in the program that everything will be ok,” said Combs. “My love for UCLA is so strong. I trust and know that everything will work out.”
Combs took an unofficial visit to Westwood in August for the Bruins’ Fall Scrimmage and that was what tipped the scales the Bruins’ way.
“It was love at first sight,” said Combs. “When I first went on a visit, I fell in love with the program and I fell in love with the environment and the tradition. I was good friends with Rahim Moore too and just to hear it from the players, it was love at first sight.”
Combs said he talked regularly with offensive coordinator, and newly named interim coach, Mike Johnson.
“I speak to him often and over email and everything is good with him,” said Combs.
Combs said he was glad to make the decision public.
“It’s a big relief to just get it off my chest and share it with my family and friends,” said Combs. “It’s just a dream come true. To be able to claim a school, put on the gear proudly, and be a part of that program and know that I’ll be a Bruin. It’s a proud and touching moment for me.”
