Quarterback rotation is now party of five

| | Comments (0) |

Got a look at freshman quarterback Ted Landers, a 6-foot-5, 186-pound walk-on from Serra of Gardena, for the first time during Sunday's practice. His presence gives UCLA five quarterbacks in its practice rotation, along with starter Kevin Prince and reserves Richard Brehaut, Kevin Craft and Nick Crissman.

Landers, who hadn't practiced in previous days in order for all of his paperwork to be certified with the NCAA Clearinghouse, took eight snaps during 11-on-11 competition.

Landers completed 3 of 4 passes during 11-on-11 competition, including a 15-yarder on his first attempt to freshman Ricky Marvray and a 20-yard connection with Antwon Moutra on his last throw.

Although Craft has the edge in experience, none of the quarterbacks have distinguished themselves in the quest to be Prince's understudy. Although he was competing against the third-string defense, Landers threw the ball with confidence and hit his receivers in stride.
