The post-National Signing Day exodus of assistant coaches has reportedly hit the West Coast.
According to Bruin Report Online, UCLA wide receivers coach Eric Yarber will leave the staff to take the same job with the Los Angeles Rams.
Yarber was a member of Jim Mora‘s inaugural staff in Westwood, but prior to that coached wide receivers for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Possibly pursuant to that, Yarber was not highly regarded as a recruiter -- the Bruins’ top wideout target, junior college transfer DeAndre McNeal, ultimately signed with Florida Atlantic -- so there’s a chance Yarber’s return to the NFL was a mutual decision.
As of press time, UCLA had not officially confirmed the departure.
