Linebackers Jason Harris and Jayce Smalley were available for interviews after practice today and both seemed upbeat and positive about the state of the UCLA Bruins at this point. Harris started off talking about his journey to Westwood after he transferred to UCLA from Illinois State as a graduate student. For Harris, one of the main draws to UCLA was the culture. He explains:
I could just really tell that they wanted it to be a player-run team and the players are embracing that and that’s something I’ve seen that’s need in programs.
