UCLA quarterback Jerry Neuheisel will play in his last game for the Bruins in the Fosters Farm Bowl on Dec. 26.

Neuheisel, the son of former Bruins head coach Rick Neuheisel, was named to team's 2015 scout team offensive player of the year. He won the same award in 2012.

“Jerry’s awesome,” Mora said, via Inside UCLA. “Jerry is something special. He’s one of my favorite people in the world after only knowing him for four years. How can you not love the guy? His attitude, his work ethic. …

“Your backup quarterback says the way I can best help this team is to go over and work with the first-team defense as the scout-team quarterback. That’s rare. That does not happen.”
