UCLA defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia already knew he was going to the Chargers before they picked him in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft Saturday. The Chargers selected the 6-foot-3, 324-pound Ogbonnia with the 160th overall pick. The four-year UCLA standout has the size and strength to develop into a stout run stopper, something the Chargers need more of after a disappointing season against the run.

Ogbonnia, who played in 43 games with the Bruins, said he enjoyed the vibe from Chargers' coaches after their productive meeting. "I always knew I was going to the Chargers ever since I visited them," Ogbonnia said. "I had a feeling I was going there. I kinda manifested it in a way where I didn't almost jinx myself, but it ended up happening and I'm forever grateful for it. "The vibe I got, something just told me, ‘This is the place I can be most successful and the place I needed to be.' Just being under that staff, being under that defense, somewhere where I can really excel. It kinda went both ways. I think they saw it out of me and I saw it out of them. I knew it was going to be my top destination that I wanted to go to." - Orange County Register

05/01/22 - Jake Bobo, rSr/2023, UCLA, 6-4, 206 (DS#24 TE) + More +

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

Duke transfer Jake Bobo has made a strong first impression in just a few weeks, with coach Chip Kelly acknowledging that he's "pushing himself to wide receiver one right now." Thompson-Robinson will need to find a new top receiver to turn to after Kyle Philips declared for the draft. The 6-foot-5 Bobo, who spent four years as Duke, could be his new target. - Orange County Register
