Why Snoop's Son, Cordell Broadus, Is Leaving His #UCLA Football Career Before It Starts..

There are some people who would have loved to be in Cordell Broadus' position. A son of a successful rapper Snoop Dog and 4 star High School recruit getting ready to start a professional College Football career then the next big step off the NFL. But Broadus has something else in mind for his already started career.

Today, UCLA head coach Jim Mora confirmed that Broadus, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound true freshman wide receiver, decided to step away from the game to "pursue other passions in his life."

"Cordell informed me yesterday that he has decided to pursue other passions in his life - in particular his love of film through his company Film School Productions," 

Mora said in a statement. 

"Cordell is an amazing young man with many talents, and we wish him nothing but the best as he continues to pursue his degree at UCLA."

According to Scout.com, which first reported the news, Broadus did not report to preseason camp when it began on Monday.

Mora acknowledged Broadus’ absence from camp on Thursday and said the wideout was dealing with a “personal matter,” according to the Los Angeles Times. 

Broadus was a four-star recruit in the 2015 recruiting class and chose the Bruins from a lengthy offer list. His recruitment was documented on the ESPN series, "Snoop & Son, a Dad's Dream."

So all that hype and he quits to be a movie star?

A case of following dreams or not appreciating or following through the opportunity that was given?

You be the judge...
