UCLA’s versatile playmaker whose burst was always bigger than his box score
In the 2012 season at UCLA, Steven Manfro flashed as a multi-use weapon: 38 catches for 396 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns, plus 34 rushing yards and 3 rushing scores across his Bruins career, with special-teams juice that made him dangerous in space.[2][11][13] The big takeaway is his profile: quick, shifty, and scheme-flexible enough to line up at RB, in the slot, or as a return man, but his football story is also defined by major injury setbacks—an ACL tear in 2014 and shoulder issues that eventually pushed him out of the sport.[3][6][10][14]
