Coach Jim Mora said receivers remain one of his biggest questions after the conclusion of UCLA’s 15 spring practices, but he added that he has a good feeling about the development of Kenneth Walker III.
“He could be one of the surprises in the country this year,” Mora said. “I know that’s a really, really big statement to make. I just got a gut feeling about the kid.”
Gone from last season are three of the Bruins’ top-five pass catchers — Jordan Payton, Thomas Duarte and Devin Fuller. Walker ranked eighth on the team with nine receptions for 231 yards and a touchdown.
