The ebb and flow of Jordan Lasley’s UCLA career began before he caught his first college pass.
The receiver missed the first week of his first training camp for an unspecified violation of team rules, the start of a lengthy list of transgressions.
Lasley’s most recent suspension cost the junior three games but might have been worthwhile if it represented a turning point. He made a triumphant return last week against Arizona State.
“Not playing with my team, not being out there to help my teammates, it was devastating,” Lasley acknowledged after catching seven passes for a career-high 162 yards during the Bruins’ 44-37 victory over the Sun Devils.
