Newcombe chose the Bruins over Washington, Utah, Boise State, Fresno State, Columbia and Yale. While those last two don’t qualify as football powerhouses, the fact that Newcombe had offers from two Ivy League school says a lot about what Newcombe has accomplished in the classroom.

According to his Hudl.com profile, Newcombe is 6’1” tall and weighs in at 175 pounds. He runs a 4.6-second 40-yard dash and has a 31” vertical jump.

At Casteel High, Newcombe has played both football and basketball as well as track, which makes sense given his speed.

Because Newcombe has posted a few of his Hudl.com videos to Twitter, we’re able to share them with you. (On an editorial note, we’d like to thank Isaiah for giving us a work around to the fact that our Substack platform doesn’t currently support embedding from Hudl.)

Newcombe’s highlight videos show a speedy receiver who is able to shake coverage and pull away from defenders as well as being able to his height to make a catch in coverage. First, let’s take a look at Newcombe’s top ten plays from last season:

According to 247Sports’ Brandon Huffman, Newcombe is the son of former Nebraska quarterback Bobby Newcombe.

Newcombe is the ninth recruit to commit to the Bruins’ 2021 recruiting class and the fourth to commit in the last ten days. He is also the third receiver in UCLA’s recruiting class.

Welcome to Westwood, Isaiah!!


Go Bruins!!!
