Here are some news and notes from Monday of Week 3 of UCLA football’s Spring Practice. Thank you, Twitter.
The Bruins Get Offensive
Heisman hopeful Brett Hundley is going to need every offensive weapon he can use to get UCLA to the promise land. Two of those weapons, Mossi Johnson and Kenny Walker, are names you should familiarize yourself with now. Also, the O-line is dinged up a bit and needed to shuffle around.
Brett Hundley said that @mossijohnson is quickly becoming one of his favorite targets in the pass game.

#UCLA was without a few o-linemen, causing some mixing and matching. Malcolm Bunch played RT. Kenny Lacy played some OG @UCLAFootball

#UCLA LB Myles Jack on Bunch playing OT "He's huge. he blocks out the sun." ... it was a night practice @UCLAFootball

Guy who caught my eye today: WR Kenny Walker. Dealt with a back injury last season, but his speed this spring is legit. Should contribute.

Injury Notes It would not be Spring Practice without a few bumps and bruises… and falls down stairs.
CB Johnny Johnson, as was previously reported, is out for the rest of spring after reaggravating his shoulder.

Miscellaneous
If you have not obtained all the information you can surrounding UCLA Football’s Spring Showcase at Stub Hub Center, well, here you go! Oh yeah, head coach Jim Mora has another message for you.
And slightly of topic, but… How About That Anthony Barr? The NFL Draft is a few weeks away and every Bruin fan wants to know where superstar linebacker Anthony Barr will end up?
#Cowboys doing a lot of homework on UCLA DE/OLB Anthony Barr in the case he's there at #16. They have a scheduled visit with him on Tuesday
