The Jets, comprised of top Southern Arizona talent, scored 170 points in the five games over the weekend.

“We were invited by Chip Kelly’s UCLA staff to come watch practice,” Jet Sports Training owner Bobby Rodriguez mentioned. “The purpose for these (college) visits is to have our boys start thinking about college and higher education after high school, even if it’s trade school.”

It was the team’s fourth campus visit of the year. They also toured Arizona, ASU and NAU.

“I want these boys to also dream big, work hard and know that playing college football is possible,” Rodriguez added. “I couldn’t be more grateful for the parents in our program for allowing me to work with their kids, the coaches for the hours spent and the players for believing in our staff and myself.”
