At UCLA football media day, transfer linebacker Sammy Omosigho said he’s eager to get back to game contact. Asked about the approaching season, Omosigho said he was ready to “hit somebody else.” The one-on-one interview offered a glimpse of his mindset as the Bruins prepare for the season. It did not announce a starting spot, snap count, or defined role for Omosigho. UCLA still has to place him in the linebacker rotation and determine how much he’ll play. For now, the clearest update is simple: the transfer linebacker is ready to leave camp work behind and face another jersey.
