Corona (Calif.) Centennial defensive lineman Miles Schirmer, one of the top prospects in the region, has lined up a busy schedule of unofficial and official visits this spring as Cal and UCLA emerge as the frontrunners for his commitment. Schirmer, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound interior/edge rusher, has an older brother who signed with Cal last year, giving the Bears a potential family connection, while UCLA has also made him a priority target and he's set to return to their campus multiple times.
