Bruins may break even with new lineman
Tackle Donovan Edwards commits to team while right tackle Sean Sheller remains injured.
UCLA gained an offensive lineman, but may have lost one as well, this past weekend.
Donovan Edwards, a 6-foot-5, 285-pound tackle from Diablo Valley Community College, committed to UCLA and will be eligible to play this fall. Edwards, who will attend summer school to try to qualify for admission to UCLA, will have four years to play three seasons.
The Bruins though may be without tackle Sean Sheller, who suffered knee and ankle injuries in an all-terrain vehicle accident. The extent of his injuries was still being determined, according to a UCLA official. Sheller is listed as the Bruins’ starting right tackle on the depth chart heading into fall camp.
Edwards’ commitment improves the Bruins’ depth where they are thinnest. UCLA has only two returning linemen who started a game last season, center Micah Reed and tackle Micah Kia.
The Bruins will begin fall practice on Aug. 5 and play Tennessee in their opener on Sept. 5.
