Cordell Broadus is returning to UCLA football.
Less than a year after walking away from the Bruins’ program prior to the commencement of fall practice, Broadus will be returning to Jim Mora’s program, this time as a walk-on.
Scout’s Tracy Pierson reports the news and says Broadus will be on the field for the start of spring practice at UCLA.
Broadus, who was a four-star wide receiver recruit out of Bishop Gorman High School in Nevada, had been dropping hints on social media the past few months about wanting to return to football:
Sometimes you don't know how much you love something until it's not at your disposal anymore.

I can't wait to get back on the field

Last year he dropped football to concentrate on a film career. It looks like the break from football made him realize how much he missed the sport. Either that or Broadus’ business plans making underwear didn’t work out as hoped.
UCLA will likely welcome Broadus back to the program with open arms. He was a highly-sought after recruit and should provide a boost to the team’s wide receivers corps.
