Moutra will take one more trip

It would be very disappointing for UCLA Bruin fans if they would lose four-star wide receiver/safety Antwon Moutra (6-3, 183, 4.45) from Culver City, Calif., since after all he is cousins with Bruin great linebacker Robert Thomas and current UCLA budding superstar hoopster, Russell Westbrook.
Ever since the dismissal of Karl Dorrell as UCLA's head football coach it has open season on UCLA recruits and Moutra was one of the most coveted. He has the talent to make an impact on both sides of the ball.

So it is good news for Bruin fans that after his visit to Cal, Moutra looks to be solidly in UCLA's camp.
"The trip to Cal it went fine, everything went okay," Moutra said. "The area is real nice. It was similar to UCLA everything was calm there and clean.
"Cal did what all the other schools did," Moutra said. "It was pretty much all the same stuff.
"I'm still with UCLA," Moutra said. "I met Coach Rick Neuheisel and he's a really nice guy.
"From everything I've heard, Coach Neuheisel is an offensive coach and he likes to throw the ball," Moutra said. "So I like that.
"I'm going to visit Washington State this weekend and then that will be it as far as visits," Moutra said. "I haven't really talked to Washington State, but after I committed to UCLA they offered me a scholarship and trip to their campus.
