Scouting Verdict
Leland Smith is a San Jose State transfer (via Purdue) projected to start at WR (WR1) for UCLA, coming off a real breakout: 43 catches, 688 yards, 3 TD in 2025. The production is genuine and the projected WR1 role plus premium position help, but it came at the G5 level, capping him at low UDFA on the tape pending the Big Ten jump.
