The UCLA Bruins are getting former top recruit Cordell Broadus back after the son of rapper Snoop Dogg left the team before the start of his freshman season last year.

Josh Rosen will have a new, old target to throw to as Cordell Broadus will rejoin the UCLA football team for the start of spring practices on March 29, according to Scout.

The 6-2, 200-pound receiver returns to the team but he won’t take up a scholarship as he’ll return to the team as a walk-on. He was No. 221 overall recruit and the No. 26 receiver in the class of 2015, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
