Sweazie to UCLA: Offensive Line Upgrade | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA is making a big splash by bringing in redshirt senior offensive lineman Carter Sweazie from James Madison, a proven force who started 23 of 34 games at left guard and helped his team rush for over 1,300 yards. With quarterback Nico Iamaleava under constant pressure last season and the offense averaging just 319.9 yards per game, Sweazie’s arrival could be the game-changer UCLA needs to protect the QB and open holes for the run game — all while bringing championship-caliber experience to Westwood.

Chesney’s Crew Brings Big Changes to UCLA | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA football is getting a major overhaul with new head coach Bob Chesney, who’s bringing his entire James Madison staff—including 10 players and top coordinators—to fix a program reeling from its worst season ever.

On defense, standout linemen Samir West and Aiden Gobaira promise to stop the run. The real test? Chemistry and adaptability in a new system—and whether Chesney can replicate his turnaround magic in the tougher Big Ten. The hype is real, but the real story starts when the whistle blows.

UCLA WR Room: Transfers to the Rescue | UCLA Bruins Football News
