Caleb Johnson Selected UCLA Student-Athlete of Week

Football

Junior linebacker recorded 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and an interception in UCLA's win over Cal.

Linebacker Caleb Johnson of the UCLA football team has been selected the UCLA Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Ready, for Nov. 9-15.

Johnson, a redshirt junior from Murrieta, Calif., was one of seven UCLA players who registered four or more tackles in the Bruins' 34-10 win over California Sunday at the Rose Bowl. Of Johnson's four stops, 2.5 went for a loss of nine yards and he now ranks 18th nationally in tackles for loss per game (1.8). He also registered a sack for the second week in a row, bringing Golden Bear quarterback Chase Garbers to the ground during a second-half shutout by the UCLA defense. Johnson also teamed with fellow newcomer Qwuantrezz Knight on a first-half quarterback takedown to limit Cal to a field goal on its first drive. For good measure, Johnson intercepted a Garbers pass with 2:39 remaining in the second quarter to set up the Bruins' final touchdown of the first half.

This is Johnson's first UCLA student-athlete of the week award of the season and of his career.
