Dual-threat freshman with arm talent, legs, and long-term upside at UCLA
DJ Bordeaux entered UCLA in 2026 as a three-star, dual-threat freshman QB with a strong prep résumé: ESPN ranked him No. 19 among quarterbacks, and UCLA highlighted 8,122 career passing yards plus 1,542 rushing yards with 17 rushing TDs. In his 2025 senior season at Legend High, he threw for 2,162 yards and 29 touchdowns while adding 798 rushing yards and 12 scores, showing real playmaking juice. His calling card is off-script mobility, quick processing, and developmental upside rather than instant polish—good fit for a staff that can coach up a raw but talented long-term starter.
