Broadus is a four-star Under Armour All-American 6-foot-2, 192-pound wide receiver for Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, and is ranked 130th in the ESPN 300.
“I feel that UCLA is the best fit for me,” Broadus told ESPNU. “I had the offer since my nine-grade year, so I had a great connection with the coaches. I just want to play in front of my family and keep out on the field and get a great degree.”
Broadus and his father currently have a five-part documentary series on ESPN called “Snoop & Son: A Dad’s Dream.”
“It’s been awesome just watching him step into manhood and make a decision that he’s comfortable with,” Snoop Dogg told ESPN.
Broadus also received offers from Arizona State, Baylor, LSU and USC.
“I’m back him up 1,000 percent and throw out all my USC drawers,” Dogg, a huge fan of USC, told NFL.com.
In his senior season, Broadus caught 39 passes for 602 yards and 11 touchdowns as Bishop Gorman went undefeated and won the Nevada Division I state championship.
“I think it’ll be great playing with some great athletes and just going out there and playing hard, working hard and winning games,” Broadus told ESPN.
