For the second time, wide receiver Cordell Broadus, son of rapper Snoop Dogg, quit the UCLA football team, Bruins coach Jim Mora announced Monday.

Broadus exited the team last year ahead of his freshman season, but he returned in March.

"He is going to pursue other passions in his life, and we encourage that and I appreciate the fact that he came back out in the spring and gave it another shot, but this is an incredibly talented young man in so many areas," Mora said. "It will be fun to watch what he does with his life. We haven't heard the last from him. Probably just getting started."

Broadus was a four-star prospect out of high school, finishing at Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas. The process of his college recruitment was the subject of an ESPN miniseries.

He tweeted Monday that he will be hosting a web talk show called "Dream BIG."

"His purpose is to inspire youth across the country to fearlessly chase after dreams despite life's many obstacles," the tweet read. "The show will feature a different celebrity guest each week who is actively making a difference in the world, and can serve as role model to youth everywhere."

In June, Broadus tweeted that he signed with Wilhelmina Models. He also has said he hopes to have a film career, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.

After first leaving the UCLA football program last year, Broadus wrote on Instagram, "I played football for my father because I thought that was the only way he would love me and be a part of my life. It took me 12 years to realize he loves Cordell Broadus the person not Cordell Broadus the football player. The best day of my life was when I heard those exact words."
