Oscar Rios Commits to Arizona Over UCLA

Oscar Rios, a highly regarded 2026 quarterback prospect, has committed to Arizona, choosing the Wildcats over UCLA. Arizona previously missed out on quarterback Jaden O'Neal, who opted for Florida State. UCLA remains active in recruiting, having recently offered four-star basketball prospect Davion Adkins and continuing to pursue top football recruit Carter Gooden, who is nearing a decision with UCLA among his finalists. Gooden, the top recruit from Massachusetts, is attracted by UCLA’s emphasis on player development and early playing time. Separately, former North Carolina guard RJ Davis signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after going undrafted. The recruiting season sees both Arizona and UCLA competing aggressively for top football and basketball talent.
