Olorunfunmi joins linebacker Jaelan Phillips and tailback Soso Jamabo in having his season cut short by a concussion. Olorunfunmi’s injury ends his college career because he appeared in all six games this season and is not eligible to redshirt, unlike Phillips and Jamabo.
Olorunfunmi was UCLA’s leading ballcarrier last season with 565 yards rushing, but his role diminished after getting a combined 24 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns in the first two games this season. He was mostly used in short-yardage situations against Fresno State and Colorado, getting a combined seven carries for 16 yards and one touchdown, before getting no carries in either of the last two games.
