The 6'3, 200 pound Justice, who is from San Diego, is the No. 73 wide receiver in the country according to Scout.com.
Justice can play on either side of the ball but will play WR for the #Aztecs, big, physical 6-3 kid who runs well and has nice upside to him

The final three schools on Justice's list were San Diego State, USC and Arizona.
According to MaxPreps, Justice, a 2018 recruit, recorded 46 receptions for 932 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior in high school.
Justice is the son of former MLB player David Justice, who won World Series titles with the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees.
