Local Class of 2024 OT Mark Schroller Commits to UCLA Football
Just a few days after picking up an offer from the Bruins, one of California's top linemen is Westwood-bound.
Class of 2024 offensive tackle Mark Schroller has verbally committed to UCLA football, he announced Sunday afternoon on social media. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound lineman out of Mission Viejo (CA) is the third prospect to join the Bruins' upcoming recruiting class.
Schroller was also sitting on offers from San Diego State, Indiana, Dartmouth, UNLV, Arizona, UPenn, Boston College, Arizona State, San Jose State, SMU, Nevada, Rice, Princeton, Colorado State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Washington State, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Colorado and Arkansas.
Before getting his offer from UCLA, Schroller had been to USC, San Diego State, Oregon State, Stanford, Cal, Arizona, Arizona State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt on either unofficials, gameday visits, junior days and camps. His final visit was with the Bruins, though, and that appeared to seal the deal on his decision.
Mark's father, Karl, was an offensive lineman at UCLA in the early 1990s.
Schroller made the All-League First Team Offense for the South Coast League this past fall, as well as Cal-Hi Sports’ All-State Junior Team.
This spring, Schroller has gone to several high-level showcases, including the Under Armour Next Camp Series and the Rivals Camp Series – both in Los Angeles.
Schroller is a three-star recruit, according to 247Sports, Rivals and ESPN, but On3 has him pegged as a four-star. According to the 247Sports Composite, Schroller is ranked as the No. 38 player in California, the No. 28 offensive tackle in the country and the No. 449 overall prospect in his class.
Among offensive tackles in California, Schroller ranks No. 3.
The Bruins' staff has sent out 46 offers overall to class of 2024 prospects, with 12 going to offensive linemen. Two of UCLA's three commits in next year's cycle are offensive tackles – Schroller and three-star Eastlake (CA) prospect Joshua Glanz.
Between Schroller, Glanz and four-star defensive back Khristian Dunbar-Hawkins, UCLA's three-man class of 2024 ranks No. 52 in the country and No. 4 in the Pac-12.
