UCLA coach Chip Kelly ventured to his home state to land the Bruins’ latest recruit, securing a commitment Wednesday from highly touted New Hampshire quarterback Parker McQuarrie.

McQuarrie, a 6-foot-7, 208-pound standout from Weare (N.H.) St. Paul’s School, is listed as a four-star prospect by 247Sports. He was also being pursued by Michigan, Miami, Boston College and Massachusetts, according to 247Sports.

McQuarrie is the second quarterback to commit to the Bruins in three days, joining Blake Kirshner of Santa Clarita Christian School in Canyon Country, who will be a preferred walk-on.
