MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — UCLA defensive end Laiatu Latu is a hot NFL draft prospect two years after resuming his football career. Latu was medically retired for two seasons at Washington after a neck injury. He was cleared to play for UCLA the past two seasons and emerged as one of college football’s top pass rushers.

He had 35 tackles for loss and 23-1/2 sacks in two seasons at UCLA, winning the Lombardi Award and Ted Hendricks Award.
