Having officiating crews out at UCLA practices has worked as a mutually beneficial partnership for the upcoming college football season
LOS ANGELES — Coach Chip Kelly and the UCLA football team begin the final week of training camp, but it’s not expected to be any different than previous weeks of camp.
“We just contact the league office and they provide them for us,” Kelly said. “We’ve had a few different crews here.” “I think it’s really helped our players have a better understanding of the rules,” Kelly said. “So the more exposure we get to it, the better it is because it’s critical in terms of the yardage you can acquire from the other team if they’re more penalized than you are.”Sophomore defensive back Devin Kirkwood, who is expected to take on a starting role this season, has found it to be a valuable experience to have the officials available as a resource.
The former four-star prospect mentioned he strongly considered joining Kelly and the Bruins in 2021 but “other factors” led to his decision to sign with Central Florida. “I saw what they did last year and the numbers they put up with Kyle and Greg,” he said. “That’s something I wanted to be a part of.”Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was named to the Manning Award watch list for the honor given to the best quarterback at the end of the season.
