LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley has decided to return to the Bruins for his junior season.
Hundley officially announced his decision Monday. He was a likely first-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
Hundley has started for the last two seasons under coach Jim Mora, winning 19 games and establishing himself as one of the nation’s top young quarterbacks with his arm and his legs.
He was named the offensive MVP of the Bruins’ victory over Virginia Tech in the Sun Bowl last month after passing for 226 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 161 more yards and two scores.
Hundley, who redshirted one season under coach Rick Neuheisel, already ranks among the most prolific quarterbacks in UCLA history with 6,816 yards passing.
