Willis officially a Bruin again

| | Comments (6) |

The ongoing saga of the college football career of one Brandon Willis has once more officially taken west.

Westwood, to be exact.

The here-and-back highly rated defensive tackle enrolled at UCLA and is practicing with the team today. Willis decided to transfer from North Carolina - from which he transferred to UCLA before last season before deciding to head back to the Tar Heel state in the spring - but the firing of Butch Davis made Willis reconsider once more.

Willis now waits to find out if a waiver will be accepted by the NCAA to let him play this season; if not, he'll need to redshirt this season and will have three years of eligibility.

This is a waste of UCLA scholarship dollars. We're going to potentially spend two years of holding scholarships for him and he may play one year. After that, he could bolt to the NFL if he is decent.

If the NCAA doesn't grant his waiver, why does he have to use a redshirt this year? He would be ineligible anyways and have 3 years left. Couldn't he just sit out the year and save the redshirt for another year in case he gets injured?
