Former UCLA linebacker/defensive end Jaelan Phillips is transferring to Miami, he announced Thursday night on Twitter.
Phillips, who was rated by ESPN as the nation's No. 3 overall prospect in the 2017 recruiting class, medically retired in December after two injury-plagued seasons with the Bruins.
He played in just 11 games, starting in six, and finished his UCLA career with 41 tackles, including eight for loss and 4.5 sacks. A concussion ended his 2018 season after four games.
Phillips will be eligible to play immediately for the Hurricanes in 2019 because his four-game 2018 season will count as a redshirt year, per NCAA rules.
