Tight end Caleb Wilson expected to be key weapon for UCLA

held his arms upright as he walked back toward the huddle near the end of a recent practice, pleading with quarterback Josh Rosen not to forget about him.

Rosen had just forced a pass into coverage that fell incomplete while Wilson contemplated yards of open space around him in the middle of the field.

Wilson probably doesn’t have to worry about getting lost in UCLA’s new offense. The sophomore tight end might possess the most reliable hands among Bruins pass catchers, and his improved blocking has prompted coaches to include him as part of their “jumbo” packages that call for brute force in short-yardage situations.
