## Resource

UCLA’s football roster is exploding with fresh talent—42 transfers and 20 freshmen set to reshape the squad this season. While the freshman class ranks 16th in the Big Ten, standout receivers like Kenneth Moore, the top-ranked freshman, must fight for playing time. Tight end Camden Jensen could compete for a backup role, while offensive linemen Quinn Buckey and Cooper Javorsky must adapt to college football’s physicality. On defense, raw but athletic prospects like Marcus Almada may see development, while Michael McDonald and Michael Price could shift to tackle. In the secondary, Logan Hirou needs to lock down a safety spot, and CJ Lavender might face a developmental year amid depth. Their success hinges on adaptability, competition, and seizing opportunities as fall camp kicks off. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
