It wasn’t all bad news on the personnel front for UCLA Tuesday.
Around the same time he confirmed that wide receiver Devin Lucien will indeed transfer, Jim Mora also confirmed that Randall Goforth has been granted an additional season of eligibility. The medical waiver was essentially a no-brainer as the safety missed all but the first two games of the 2014 season after undergoing surgery on both of his shoulders.
With the waiver, Goforth will now be eligible for both the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
Goforth started all 13 games in 2013, finishing second on the team with three interceptions and fourth with 78 tackles. He started both games in which he played in 2014.
Expected to be the starter again in 2015, Goforth is nonetheless in non-contact mode this spring as he continues to recover from the two shoulder surgeries.
