Injuries make UCLA's tight end situation a position of many players

There’s been little easing into things for UCLA’s young tight ends.

Redshirt freshman Jordan Wilson went from the fringe of the rotation to a mainstay to the top option in only a few weeks after injuries to Caleb Wilson and Austin Roberts.

True freshman Moses Robinson-Carr lost his redshirt because of the player shortage.

Senior Alex Van Dyke became a rookie of sorts when he switched to tight end from receiver to help fill the void of available bodies.

“It’s time to step up,” said Robinson-Carr, who made his debut on offense last week against Oregon after having played previously on special teams.
