Irvine (Calif.) <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/crean-lutheran-irvine-ca-25245/">Crean Lutheran</a> four-star defensive lineman <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/anthony-jones-238426/">Anthony Jones</a> told Rivals’ Adam Gorney on Wednesday that he was likely not putting pen to paper during this week’s signing period. He has now decommitted from <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/ucla-bruins/">UCLA</a> for the second time in his process, per On3’s Pete Nakos.



He was one of many who originally backed off a pledge to the Bruins after the early-season firing of head coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/deshaun-foster-132917/">DeShaun Foster</a> this fall. He then jumped back in the boat last month, choosing the in-state program over Arizona State and Arkansas.



With UCLA bringing in new head coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/bob-chesney-243703/">Bob Chesney</a>, Jones is now re-thinking things once more. Jones told Gorney on Wednesday that <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/arizona-state-sun-devils/">Arizona State</a> remained at the top of his recruitment alongside UCLA.



Jones is the No. 400 overall prospect and No. 43 DL in the 2026 cycle, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2026/">Rivals Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 41 recruit in the Golden State.



The Bruins signed their other 12 commits on Wednesday. Four-star wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/kenneth-moore-174035/">Kenneth Moore</a> is the lone blue-chip signee headed to Westwood with Jones now out of the fold once more.



The Sun Devils will now be a team to watch for the blue-chip D-lineman. Arizona State currently has the No. 34 class in the nation, per the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. It signed all 19 of its commits on Wednesday, including stud four-star quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/jake-fette-239816/">Jake Fette</a> and top-ranked JUCO prospect <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/jarmaine-mitchell-236080/">Jarmaine Mitchell</a>, who flipped from Georgia earlier this week.
