08/21/21 - OLB Kain Medrano, rSr/2024, UCLA

UCLA linebacker Kain Medrano has made great strides during spring and fall camp, after making the transition to defense in 2020. Medrano was recruited as an athlete after playing both offense and defense at Pueblo East High in Colorado. He was listed at receiver for the Bruins upon his arrival. He made the switch to linebacker after being limited to a special teams role for the season finale against Cal in 2019. Coach Chip Kelly approached Medrano about the opportunity to make the position switch. Medrano spent time mulling over the idea and talking it over with coaches and family before making the decision. The pandemic prevented the Bruins from having a productive training camp in 2020 and forced players like Medrano to learn virtually through team and position meetings held on video calls.

He played in five of the seven games during the shortened season, producing two pass breakups and four tackles, including one for a 3-yard loss. As the Bruins continue to take precautions, the team has proceeded with a regular offseason schedule and Medrano believes he has been able to benefit from it. "It gave me reps at the position I'm at," Medrano said. "I need reps and to get connected with the defensive backs behind me and the defensive line in front of us." He was a standout throughout the spring and had a notable practice when he made two interceptions on May 14 when he jumped a route and intercepted a pass intended for tight end Mike Martinez. He also intercepted quarterback Ethan Garbers' pass in the end zone. - Orange County Register
