Matt Sykes, Rice, Player News
|
UCLA receiver Matt Sykes has made most of his opportunities as he enters his second season with the Bruins. Sykes worked with the first team throughout the final week of spring camp as veteran receivers Kyle Philips and Chase Cota were limited to take ca re of minor injuries. "With all of those guys down I had a ton of reps," Sykes said. "It's just been mental repetitions and experience so I'm definitely a lot more comfortable working (with the starting unit.)" The 6-foot-4, 200-pound sophomore has the s ize to be a deep-threat option in the passing game, but is willing to show his versatility wherever he can on offense."I'm just going to do whatever coach (Chip) Kelly wants me to do," Sykes said. "If he wants me to block or get short yardage gain s or even take the top off, but that's what we are working on every day." He started in two of the six games he played as a true freshman last season but recorded just three catches for 24 yards. Kelly has recognized Sykes' progression from this time las t year as a true freshman trying to come in and learn while spring and fall camp was disrupted by the pandemic. "I think he's done a really nice job," Kelly said about Sykes in May. "This is really his first time to spend on fundamentals and learn the re al intricacies of playing the position." - Orange County Register
