Murray giving UCLA a look … in person
As we speak, Plant quarterback Aaron Murray, whom Rivals.com rates as the No. 43 prospect for the Class of 2009, is in California on an unofficial visit to UCLA. He left Tampa on Wednesday and will return Friday.
UCLA is one of three PAC-10 schools to have offered Murray a scholarship, Plant coach Bob Weiner said. The others are Oregon and Stanford.
The UCLA offer is significant largely because Bruins head coach Rick Neuheisel is considered to be one of the sport's elite QB coaches. It's worth noting that Neuheisel once played quarterback for the Bruins.
For those of you concerned about Murray missing class, don't be. His GPA is in the 4.9 range.
