Safety Kibble forced to leave Bruins: UCLA Press-Telegram
LOS ANGELES - UCLA safety Robert Kibble, who is afflicted by multiple sclerosis, has taken a leave of absence from school and will not return to the football team, Bruins coach Karl Dorrell said. Kibble, who is from Houston, returned to his home recently, became ill during August's training camp, a condition exacerbated by multiple sclerosis. He went back to be with his family because hes dealing with some difficult circumstances, Dorrell said. Its not only dealing with his condition, but also the long-term affect of him not playing this game again. I think that really hurt him, but I think our team has been very supportive. They pray for him every day. Dorrell said Kibble, who is an excellent student, is expected to return to UCLA in January, and continue working toward his degree.MORE: UCLA Press-Telegram |
