UCLA's Andre James draws his strength from his father
UCLA offensive lineman Andre James during a game against Arizona on Oct. 14. (Rick Scuteri / Associated Press)was lying down in his room last week when he felt some unusual stomach pains. The UCLA right tackle hopped into a car with teammate Rick Wade and rushed to UCLA Medical Center, where tests came back normal and James returned home after midnight.
Only a few days later, James was back on the field playing for the Bruins against Washington.
“It just showed to me,” UCLA coach Jim Mora said Tuesday, “his strength of will.”
That appears to be a family trait.
