UCLA’s New Era Under Bob Chesney Offers a Roster Makeover and a Jolt of Hope in Westwood
Chesney brought 62 new players, including 42 transfers, as UCLA tries to rebound after a 3-9 season.
- New head coach Bob Chesney signed 62 new players, including 42 transfers, to revitalize UCLA Bruins following a 3-9 record in 2025.
- Defensive coordinator Colin Hitschler faces a rebuilding challenge; the unit allowed 387.0 yards per game last season while managing just 10 sacks and 40 tackles for loss, both worst in the FBS.
- Quarterback Iamaleava looks to revive his performance with offensive coordinator Dean Kennedy's new scheme and three offensive linemen transferred from James Madison to improve protection.
- UCLA is aggressively recruiting 4-star cornerback Jordan Hicks, who scheduled a game-day visit for September 12 against San Diego State to evaluate the program.
- Landing prospects like Hicks could provide Chesney an early win in the 2028 recruiting cycle, bolstering the secondary as the Bruins attempt to climb from recent lows.
