Takkarist McKinley has had this game circled on his calendar for months. Not because it could be his last game in a UCLA uniform, or its against the team he signed with out of high school, but because he’ll have up to 50 people in his cheering section in the crowd.
McKinley shot up mock draft boards this year, and before he embarks on an NFL career he’s heading home to the Bay Area this Saturday.
“It’s a blessing,” the defensive end said of getting to play his final game as a Bruin in front of his hometown crowd.
