2023 DL Zurich Ashford commits to California

Las Veags Arbor View defensive lineman Zurich Ashford has announced his commitment to California.

He is the eighth commit in the 2023 Golden Bears recruiting class, which ranks 69th in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking.

The other commits in the class are Mission Hills (Calif.) St. John Bosco four-star safety R.J. Jones, Los Angeles Cathedral three-star defensive lineman Ashton Sanders, Herriman (Utah) Mountain Ridge three-star linebacker Cade Uluave, Salinas (Calif.) three-star wide receiver Nyziah Hunter, Rohnert Park (Calif.) Rancho Cotate three-star cornerback Sailasa Vadrawale, La Puente (Calif.) Bishop Amat three-star defensive lineman Tiumalu Afalava and Australian three-star punter Ethan Baxter.

Jones is the No. 320 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $21k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
