UCLA wideout coach pays homage to Nipsey Hussle's Marathon Burger

UCLA wideout coach pays homage to Nipsey Hussle's Marathon Burger describes how the Bruins are leaning into Los Angeles during the recruiting season. The article says the Bob Chesney era is “back to recruiting hard” in Southern California, and highlights a social-media tribute from wide receivers coach Colin Lockett to Los Angeles rapper and entrepreneur Nipsey Hussle. Lockett’s post shows a UCLA football player in uniform with an old-school vehicle and a Marathon Burger bag, referencing the burger chain founded from Hussle’s estate. Hussle is described as a cultural figure in Los Angeles before his death in 2019 and as having been charitable in the Crenshaw neighborhood. Lockett, an L.A. native from Diamond Bar, played college football at San Diego State and had stints with Cincinnati and Washington before coaching roles beginning in 2017. The piece also notes UCLA’s use of a vintage Chevrolet Bel Air convertible for recruit photoshoots.
