The 6-0 Bruins see the benefits of having several players in graduate school – “we’re as proud of that as we are of our record,” head coach Chip Kelly says.
Ask UCLA defensive lineman Jacob Sykes to tell you about philosophy and he’ll spin you a tale of a dinner party once hosted by Socrates at which the guests try to define eros, or “love.”
UCLA has 19 players on its roster who are in graduate school. Their undergraduate degrees range from economics to art to applied mathematics – and they’re proving there could be a correlation between players’ level of education and the success of a team. Sykes earned an applied mathematics degree from Harvard before transferring to UCLA and “may be president of the United States some day,” according to Kelly.
“He’s the ultimate competitor whether it’s in the classroom, in the weight room, on the practice field,” Kelly said. “He wants to be great at everything he does. What sets Shea apart from other people is he’s just such a driven individual.” “Guys here at UCLA are very smart guys. Guys who are going to go the extra mile to find the extra tape, look at the different cues,” said linebacker Bo Calvert, who has an undergrad degree in political science. “But I think now being able to have guys who are more experienced in football, you see that a lot more on display just because guys are calling things out.”
