This name might be a mouthful, but UCLA fans would love to hear it every Saturday in the fall for the next few years, given how talented Titus Mokiao-Atimalala is.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound athlete is one of the more versatile players left in the class and he can play either receiver or safety at the next level. He’s incredibly talented on both sides of the field, so it’d be interesting to see where Chip Kelly would slot him.

Unfortunately for the Bruins, rival USC is in the lead for his services with just over a week to go and it looks like Clay Helton might win this recruitment over the likes of UCLA, Hawaii, Maryland and Nebraska. It’s still not over until it’s over and the Bruins may use the “hot seat coach” talk to try and lure him across town, but Kelly’s seat may not be the coolest either.

Mokiao-Atimalala would be the second-highest ranked athlete signee in UCLA’s 2021 class, listed as the No. 302 overall prospect and third-best prospect from Hawaii, according to the 247Sports composite.

Will the Bruins push USC on signing day?
