DesShaun Foster's UCLA offers 4-star DB LaRue Zamorano to the class of 2025

Three-star cornerback LaRue Zamorano, from Corona, California, is gradually becoming one of the most highly touted prospects in the 2025 class. He has already received offers from Arizona, Oregon, USC, Michigan State, Penn State, Kansas and Washington.

Head coach DeShaun Foster's UCLA entered the competition on Thursday by extending an offer to LaRue Zamorano. The cornerback shared the news on X, writing:

"Blessed to say that l've received an offer from UCLA 🐻 #DoMore #WelcomeToTheFosEra @DeShaunFoster26 @brian_ohana5 @COACHSTACE_ @Cen10Football"

"@GregBiggins @ChadSimmons_ @adamgorney @BlairAngulo."

Despite battling injuries over the past year, Zamorano's potential remains evident. With a height of 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, he possesses the physical attributes necessary to contend with larger wide receivers, and his speed enables him to effectively cover the field. National recruiting analyst Greg Biggins sees him as a high Power 4 prospect, with the potential to be a multi-year starter at the college level.

Zamorano is the No. 498 cornerback in the 2025 class and the No. 42 player in California, per On3. 247 Sports ranks him as the No. 53 cornerback in the class and the No. 51 player in the state.
