"Again with Oregon, I like their academics," Floyd said. "Oregon also has a great coaching staff and great facilities. I also like their stadium.
"I like UCLA because they're in my hometown," Floyd said. "I would like to play in my hometown, but if it comes down where it is best for me somewhere else, I'll go away for school.
"At UCLA there are a lot of players who I played high school with and of course UCLA's academics are great. They are one of the best academic schools in the nation.
