UCLA’s Ishmael Adams won’t be charged with a felony
Jack becomes the latest in a string of season-ending defensive injuries for the Bruins, joining cornerback Fabian Moreau and lineman Eddie Vanderdoes. For his career, he has amassed 178 tackles and four interceptions.
With his two-way skills and incredible athleticism, Jack was the most prominent player on the Bruins roster along with freshman quarterback Josh Rosen.
The UCLA Bruins will have to survive the rest of 2015 without superstar linebacker Myles Jack, according to information relayed by Stewart Mandel of Fox Sports.
UCLA takes on Arizona in a top-25 matchup this Saturday in Tucson, which will be especially challenging given the Wildcats no-huddle, uptempo offense.
Whatever the injury, we first and foremost wish Myles Jack all the best and hope for a speedy and complete recovery, and that this merely delays his incredible future a bit without altering it in any other way. “He also played with good discipline throughout, which was great to see”. The UCLA Bruins had a clear path to a Pac-12 South title and the conference championship game, but that path now has a huge obstacle. Redshirt freshman Denzel Fisher, Moreau’s replacement at left corner, stood about seven yards off the line of scrimmage on nearly every play he was in. They have lost three of their best defensive players for the season in three weeks.
“He went through a list of teams and said, “These guys got through it, so we have to as well,” “ junior linebacker Deon Hollins said.
Running back Paul Perkins rolled up 219 yards against the Cougars, but with UCLA trailing by six points with five minutes left, Nate Starks was in the backfield. “I don’t know if he’s ready to play a whole game, but he won’t have to”.
Adams, a first-team All-Pac-12 selection in 2014, spent almost 48 hours in jail and faced bail of $100,000 following his arrest. He had been the Bruins’ nickel back in pass situations. Jack is a player that cannot only make the big hit, but can also work in coverage. Now it’s time to deliver on the field in one of the nation’s toughest leagues.
