  05/01/22 - TE Jake BoborSr/2023, UCLA

  During UCLA's spring showcase last Saturday, coach Chip Kelly put on the headset live on the Pac-12 Network and made it pretty clear: Don't be surprised if Jake Bobo is atop his wide receiver depth chart come fall. Bobo, who transferred to UCLA after four years at Duke, has coaches raving during spring practice and is well on pace to be one of Dorian Thompson-Robinson's targets on the outside. "Jake has been outstanding," Kelly said. "He can make contested catches. He's a big, strong, physical target. He's smart, he's intelligent. I know Dorian and all our quarterbacks are really happy that they can look out wide and see No. 9 there." Bobo had a career year last season at Duke with 74 receptions for 794 yards, which ranked ninth in the ACC. UCLA hopes Bobo can serve as a reliable third down option, a safety valve of sorts.

And Bobo believes that understanding what he's good at has earned him instant credibility amongst teammates and coaches. He knows that he won't blow by defenders. But at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, what Bobo lacks in speed, he makes up for in size and toughness. Wide receivers coach Jerry Neuheisel Jr. said that Bobo and Mokiao-Atimalala are not only talented, but also "great people." "To be able to get Jake after his career at Duke, to be honest, I thought we got really lucky," Neuheisel Jr. said. "We got a steal on that one. "You talk about some of these quarterback-receiver duos - whether that's professionally or in college sports - there's a relationship off the field there and that comes with time," Bobo said. "So that's what we'll do this summer and the rest of this spring and into the fall." - Orange County Register
