Malone reviews UCLA camp
Josh Malone is one the top receivers in the 2014 class.
The Gallatin (Tenn.) Station Camp four-star recruit recently proved that at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge in Chicago and again this past weekend at the UCLA camp.

The Bruins are trying to make a serious push for the 6-foot-3, 187-pound prospect, even more so after he dominated in one-on-one drills in Westwood and seemed to enjoy his experience in Los Angeles.
"UCLA is a unique place," Malone said. "It's a really neat environment. I just really like the campus and it's a true college town just with Los Angeles all around it. It's just very unique.
"I can see myself fitting in here. I really enjoyed my visit. I spent a lot of time with the coaches and I got to see UCLA inside and out."
The UCLA coaches made it as clear as possible that Malone was a wanted man.
According to the four-star receiver, the coaches broke down the Bruins' offense and how he'd fit in, told him about the depth chart and even said that wide receiver was a position of need in this recruiting class.
Hint, hint - Malone could be an immediate contributor. Those are all interesting points to consider for Malone, who said he should release a top five by the start of his senior season.
"They were just breaking down the offense and they broke down the depth chart and they said wide receiver is a position of need right now," Malone said. "Everything they broke down was looking good.
"I'm working toward a top list. It's too late to really announce a top 10 because I'm still up there. I'll probably announce a top five. I'm going to try to do it before the season."
No schools are guaranteed to make that list except Georgia. Malone said he has promised those coaches he would take an official visit to Athens - no date has been determined yet - so the Bulldogs should make his top list.
"The only one I know, the only one I've guaranteed an official to right now, is Georgia," Malone said. "Right now they've made the cut."
Rivals.com rates Malone as the third-best wide receiver and the No. 38 prospect in the 2014 class.
