Standout Receiver Shane Rosenthal Commits to UCLA
A New Chapter for the Record-Setting Receiver
Shane Rosenthal, the record-setting receiver at Newbury Park High, had waited months to see if college recruiters might finally notice his skills besides teams in the Ivy League.
UCLA coach DeShaun Foster made a visit to Newbury Park last week, brought Rosenthal in for a recruiting visit, offered him a scholarship and Rosenthal changed his commitment from Princeton to UCLA on Tuesday.
A Career to Remember
Rosenthal had staggering statistics in high school, with career numbers of 324 receptions for 5,197 yards and 62 touchdowns. He also had 24 interceptions. Newbury Park won the Southern Section Division 2 championship this season.
A Recruiting Visit to Remember
Rosenthal and standout junior quarterback Brady Smigiel have been teammates and best friends for years, so Rosenthal’s decision certainly can’t hurt UCLA’s chances in recruiting Smigiel, who recently withdrew his commitment to Florida State and listed UCLA as among the schools he’s now looking at.
A Coach’s Perspective
“They did their research and everything points toward a fit for them. My hats off to them,” said Newbury Park coach Joe Smigiel, who went on Rosenthal’s recruiting visit.
A New Era at UCLA
With Rosenthal on board, UCLA is poised to make a statement in the Pac-12 conference. The Bruins are looking to build on their recent success and Rosenthal is confident that he can make an impact.
Conclusion
Shane Rosenthal’s commitment to UCLA marks a new chapter in his college football career. With his impressive high school statistics and his new scholarship, he is ready to take on the challenges of college football. UCLA is lucky to have him on board and fans are excited to see what he can bring to the team.
