## Resource

UCLA football is turning the page with a seismic roster overhaul—42 transfers and 20 new recruits, including 10 key pieces brought in by new coach Bob Chesney. Returning stars like QB Nico Iamaleava and WR Mikey Matthews must prove themselves after shaky seasons, especially Iamaleava’s underwhelming record at Tennessee. The defense, anchored by standout returnees like safety Cole Martin and cornerback Scooter Jackson, needs to fix a leaky pass rush. Eugene Brooks’ return at left guard and kicker Matteen Bhaghani’s reliability offer stability on offense. With a full rebuild underway, the Bruins’ 2025 season is a make-or-break moment as they prepare for Big Ten challenges.
