Diddy‘s son, Justin Combs, has committed to play football at UCLA.

“Playing Division I football was a lifelong dream of mine, and through hard work I was able to achieve it,” said the 5-foot-9, 170-pound defensive back for New York’s New Rochelle Iona Prep in a statement.

Combs added, “I am a living testament that with a strong relationship with God, family, and hard work dreams do come true.”

His famous father is thrilled, too.

“As a parent, this is one of the proudest moments of my life. This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he loves to do,” explained Diddy.

The music mogul continued, “Justin is a shining example of what hard work, determination and a strong mentality can achieve. I am honored to call him my son and am happy that he is fulfilling his dream.”

Combs was reportedly also offered scholarships by Illinois, Virginia and Wyoming.
