7-on-7

Well with practice still about a month away, 7-on-7 passing drills have become a normal sight at Spaulding. And with most of the new recruits on campus, now is the first chance to see them playing at UCLA. While not a lot can be taken from the skill shown at 7-on-7s, it is a good chance to see how big some of the guys have gotten during the summer lifting period.

One interesting development out of 7-on-7s is that Coleman Edmund, a member of the UCLA track team, is trying to play football this year too. He is a receiver and apparently has looked pretty good during his time out at Spaulding.

UCLA also picked up it's sixth commitment of the summer this week. JC defensive end Marquis Jackson from College of the Canyons and former high school teammate of Milton Knox and Donovan Carter, decided not to follow his brother Malik to USC and instead gave his oral commitment to Coach Neuheisel. Jackson was a JC All-American last year, and I had the chance to cover him when he played against Glendale City College. All I can say is I am very excited about this commitment. Jackson was an unblockable force in that game. His quickness off the snap of the ball was also impressive. He should be an immediate contributor to the Bruins.

Lastly longspapper Christian Yount made history recently when he was named the first ever longsnapper on the annual Playboy all-America team. With football becoming a more specialized sport, the Playboy all-American team decided to include a longsnapper this year, and according to pro scouts, Yount is the best there is.
