Any time the Wildcats venture to Southern California to play at the Rose Bowl or Los Angeles Coliseum, it’s a special moment.

These are the teams most of their players grew up watching, after all.

They’re not the only ones.

UA staffer Miguel Reveles shared a moment with his mother Saturday. She got to watch him coach on a college field for the first time.

Reveles, who assists in day-to-day program management with a focus on running backs and special teams, grew up nearby. His father was a janitor at the Valley Hunt Club, located near the Rose Bowl. Reveles grew up a die-hard Bruins fan; he would walk to games.

Not anymore, of course. Reveles was scheduled to fly home Saturday night on the Wildcats’ team charter.Β
