UCLA’s New Blood and Who Must Prove Themselves | UCLA Bruins Football News

Coach Bob Chesney’s loaded UCLA squad, featuring 42 new transfers including 10 from his old JMU team, is poised to turn things around after a rough 3-9 season.

Freshmen Who Could Shock UCLA | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA’s new coach Bob Chesney’s roster overhaul is off to a wild start—with a top-11 transfer class and a lower-ranked 2026 high school class, but don’t write off these freshmen. Kenneth Moore the third, the highest-ranked recruit, brings elite speed and route-running to a crowded receiver room. Malaki Soliai-Tui, a versatile linebacker, can rush, tackle, cover, and even play safety—exactly the kind of player Chesney craves. And Camden Jensen, an offensive lineman with tight end experience, could fill UCLA’s thin tight end spot with dual-threat potential. While the transfers carry the weight, these freshmen might just be the surprise package that turns the season around.

UCLA Football Position Battles | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA football’s training camp kicks off with chaos and opportunity—every position except QB is up for grabs. Nico Iamaleava returns under center, but the real drama’s everywhere else. Wayne Knight leads the running back corps, with Jaivian Thomas and Anthony Woods ready to step in. On defense, Sahir West looks like a breakout edge rusher, flanked by Aiden Gobaira and other transfers. Wide receiver is wide open, with Mikey Matthews returning and transfers Landon Ellis and Leland Smith expected to start. Even center is contested, with James Madison’s Riley Robell challenging for the spot. The biggest battles? Offensive guard, where Eugene Brooks and Julian Armella face stiff competition from transfers like Carter Sweazie. UCLA’s season hinges on depth behind Knight, a reliable receiver, a strong edge partner for West, and a solid offensive line.
