  10/17/20 - RB Demetric FeltonrSr/2021, UCLA

  Demetric Felton Jr. has always been a people-pleaser, the UCLA running back happy to oblige his coach's wishes to position him anywhere on a football field. He's played slot receiver, served as a speedy change-of-pace running back and even filled in as the every-down back last season when Josh Kelley sat out the opener because of injury. Kelley's move to the Chargers after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons has created an opening for someone else to get the bulk of the carries for the Bruins in 2020. If given the opportunity, Felton said he intended to, well, run with it. "I'm definitely ready to take on that role," Felton, a redshirt senior, said Wednesday during a videoconference. "This is something that I've been waiting on my whole time at UCLA and now that it seems like it's that time, I'm ready for it."

The question is whether Felton is built to absorb the pounding that comes with running between the tackles 20-plus times a game. At 5 feet 10 and 200 pounds, Felton is a bit smaller than Brittain Brown, the 6-1, 210-pound graduate transfer from Duke who is the other top candidate to assume Kelley's spot as the top running back. "Brittain's a bigger back, more toward Josh's size," UCLA coach Chip Kelly said recently. "...In the first couple of days we've had him out there, he's impressive." - Los Angeles Times
