UCLA football eyes Cal safety commit in 2027 recruiting class

California safety commit Myles Baker visited the UCLA Bruins over the weekend and had praise for the Bruins over his experience with head coach Bob Chesney, according to On3 Rivals.

Baker’s from Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, Calif. and will enter the 2027 recruiting class as a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports. The site also ranks Baker as the the 218th best National player in the class, the 20th ranked safety and the 18th ranked player coming out of California.

According to 247Sports, the 6-foot-1-inch safety played at Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas in 2023 before moving to Sierra Canyon High School. Baker had 101 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 12 pass breakups, three interceptions, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a sack over his 2024 and 2025 seasons.

Baker was offered by 26 schools, but hard committed to the California Golden Bears. Now, it appears that Chesney is looking to improve his intriguing 2027 recruiting class.
