It’s another week and another scholarship offer for Upland 6-foot-4 quarterback Josh Nunes, a junior who’s building a buzz this month. The latest to offer is California Coach Jeff Tedford.

‘I was so excited to hear that they had offered me,’ Nunes said. ‘They have a strong tradition of winning up there and having a great coaching staff.’

Nunes already has plans to take unofficial visits during spring break to Oregon, Oregon State, Boise State and Utah. He received an offer from Arizona State last week.

He’s also expected to hang out next month at UCLA’s spring football practices.

Will UCLA make an offer? If so, that will be a sign that new offensive coordinator Norm Chow has evaluated Nunes and endorsed him as a future standout.
