UCLA football: Guard Albert Cid is admitted to school

Albert Cid, an offensive lineman from Citrus College, has been admitted into UCLA and will be eligible to play this season.

Cid, who will be a sophomore, agreed to come to UCLA in the spring but needed to complete classes at the community college level before he could enroll.

"I’m in at 8:20 a.m. Monday morning," said Cid, who is 6 feet 4 and 320 pounds. "Man, I’m excited. I can’t wait to get out there."

UCLA opens training camp Monday, but Cid will miss practice to complete his enrollment.

"I’ll be out there Tuesday for sure," Cid said.

Cid has an opportunity to win a starting spot at guard. Jeff Baca was expected to start at left tackle but broke his ankle in spring and is out until at least mid-September. Sean Sheller has moved to tackle, leaving the opening at guard.
