Dalton Hilliard, a Punahou School running back, and Robert Toma, a Buffanblu wide receiver, gave verbal commitments to play football at UCLA, said Doris Sullivan, director of the Pacific Islands Athletic Alliance.

Hilliard, who stands 6 feet tall and weighs 190 pounds, gave his commitment yesterday, while Toma, who is 5-feet-10 and 170 pounds, followed today.

Hilliard also received offers from Arizona, Nebraska and Notre Dame. He visited the UCLA campus two weekends ago and saw the Bruins beat Stanford, 23-20.

Hilliard has accounted for 13 touchdowns this season, including two receiving TDs in last week's 57-7 win over Pac-Five. He has also seen spot duty at defensive back for the Buffanblu (8-1), ranked first in The Advertiser's top 10 poll.

He is a nominee for the U.S. Army All-American Game in January. A military dependent, he has lived in Virginia, North Carolina and New York. He is the fifth-ranked recruit in the state by Rivals.com.

As a junior, he earned first team Interscholastic League of Honolulu honors and received Honorable Mention to The Advertiser's All-State Team.

At last summer's PIAA combine, Hilliard ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash and did a max-lift of 225 pound on the bench press. He posted a vertical jump of 37 inches.

He is not related to the former NFL and New Orleans Saints player of the same name.

Toma has caught 55 passes this season for 809 yards and 13 touchdowns. As a junior he was an Honorable Mention All-Advertiser pick.

At the PIAA combine, Toma ran his 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds and completed the pro-agility drill in 4.22 seconds. His vertical jump is listed at 34 inches. Toma also plays basketball for the division I defending state champion Buffanblu.

Hilliard and Toma join Kapolei offensive lineman Stan Hasiak IV, who also committed to UCLA earlier in the week.
