Freshman linebacker Zach Whitley withdrew from school Monday, UCLA Athletics announced.
Whitley did not participate in practices for the Valero Alamo Bowl and did not make the trip to San Antonio for the game. In nine games played this season, Whitley registered one tackle.
Whitley was an early enrollee last January, training with the team in the offseason and during spring practices. He was a four-star recruit who flipped to UCLA after initially committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Whitley was ranked as the No. 88 recruit in the nation by rivals.com, No. 54 by scout.com and No. 192 by ESPN.com.
