It is officially the early signing period for College Football and the UCLA Bruins are looking to fill out their 2025 recruiting class.
After being dealt a few blows in the transfer portal already (RB TJ Harden and QB Justyn Martin have entered the portal), the Bruins may be facing another tough loss to their recruiting class.
We will know for sure in a few hours, but On3 has put in multiple expert predictions for Ohio State to flip 4-star EDGE Epi Sitanilei.
Epi Sitanilei Predicted To Flip From UCLA Bruins To Ohio State
The St. John Bosco product is currently the highest-rated recruit in the UCLA Bruins 2025 Class.
Sitanilei has been a hard commit to UCLA since June, but just took a visit to Ohio State last weekend for their rivalry game against Michigan.

3-star EDGE Cole Cogswell out of John Muir High School, and 3-star EDGE Jewelous Walls out of Pittsburgh, CA have both signed with the Bruins this morning, so they do have some EDGE help that will officially be in Westwood this Spring.
Sitanilei’s signing has not been announced yet, so there still may be time to get him to stay and sign with the Bruins, but it is looking bleak. DeShaun Foster and his staff may need to turn their sights to other options.
