In talking about UCLA’s right tackle position, Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel said it could be tough for converted tight end Nate Chandler to win the starting spot in training camp since he made the move only a few weeks ago.
However, Neuheisel left little question as to how good Chandler could be in the coming seasons.
“He’s as good an athlete as we have on the front,” Neuheisel said. “How quick his strength and weight get to a place where he’s not going to be overmatched, and his learning curve …those are all questions. But I certainly like the prospect of what he’ll look like a year from now. I think he’s a bonafide NFL prospect.”
