Bolu Olorunfunmi has felt good for about a week now. The mental fog the UCLA senior tailback experienced after his second concussion since August has lifted.
“I feel literally 100%,” Olorunfunmi said Wednesday during a telephone interview. “If they were to call me and say, ‘Can you still play?’ I would be like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ ”
That call will not be coming. The UCLA medical staff recently declared Olorunfunmi and four other Bruins out for the rest of the season because of concussions. The decision ended Olorunfunmi’s college career but left him grateful for the protection from another potentially more serious brain injury.
