PROFILE

This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.

More Westgate

Oak Park High's Sean Westgate said the reason he pulled back his commitment to Arizona and chose UCLA was the proximity of UCLA's campus to his home, and his desire to remain at linebacker. Many schools were recruiting him as a safety.
Westgate said he wants to play immediately, but that may not be possible. He is 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, and wants to add another 10 pounds before training camp. However, he had right shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum.
"I was sublexing it once or twice a game during the season,'' Westgate said. "I'm out of a sling a week from Wednesday, and then is start rehabbing. They said six months before I can go full go. Three weeks after the surgery I can start doing little stuff. After three months, they said I could lift with the upper body."

Brian,

How news around the campfire with Aundre Dean or Ottis Jones? And do you plan on anything special for signing day?

Hmmm...a listed height of 5-11 and a listed weight of 200 lbs. as a HS senior translates into 5'9 1/2" and 185 lbs. YIKES...it's the reincarnation of Rudy Ruettiger or Keith Short (take your pick). Oh well, another gutty little Bruin...welcome to Westwood, Sean!
