LOS ANGELES - The UCLA men's soccer program's incoming class has been ranked as the top recruiting class in the country by Top Drawer Soccer, announced the national publication on Wednesday.
This year's incoming class totals seven players with four being ranked nationally in the top 20 players for the 2018 class. Five players also have U.S. soccer experience with Justin Garces starting for Team USA in the U-17 World Cup, while AJ Vasquez missed competing in India due to an injury. Franuel Amaya and Matthew Hundley have spent time with different U.S. national teams and were named to the U-19 Men's Youth National Team roster for the first-ever U.S. Soccer Men's Youth National Team Summit Camp.
UCLA also added two transfers led by Mohammad Kamara, the reigning NJCAA national player of the year. Kamara scored 48 goals last season to help his team secure its second-straight national title.
The 2018 class also includes Cody Sundquist (Granite Bay, Calif./Fiorentina Youth Academy) and Carlos Rincon (Los Angeles, Calif./Santa Monica College)
The Bruins are one of three Pac-12 programs to be ranked in the top-10 as California came in No. 4 and Stanford was tabbed No. 8.
