Hard work results in 'awesome experience' for UCLA's Giovanni Gentosi

figured something unexpected might happen when he heard the plan.

UCLA coach Jim Mora informed his players before the spring game in April that the halftime interview subjects at Drake Stadium would include center Scott Quessenberry, linebacker Kenny Young … and Gentosi.

The first two players were obvious selections. Quessenberry was an All-Pac-12 Conference first-team member last season and Young was a returning star who is on the watch list for almost every award available to a defensive player.

Gentosi? The walk-on made a start at tight end last season, but the only statistic he logged was one tackle on special teams.
