## Resource

UCLA’s football program is exploding under new head coach Bob Chesney, poised for a top-ten 2027 recruiting class — a bold statement early in his tenure. Five-star safety JuJu Johnson, UCLA’s first five-star safety in three years, anchors the secondary with elite ball-hawking and tackling skills, setting the tone for a championship-caliber roster. The Bruins are also stacking the trenches with four-star defensive lineman George Toia — an NFL bloodline talent with immediate impact potential — while aggressively targeting Texas recruits to build a pipeline. On offense, four-star receiver Matthew Gregory and four-star OL Jackson Roper, seen as a future anchor, add playmaking depth. And running back Jayshon Gibson, also from Texas, could be the game-changing freshman who reignites UCLA’s storied RB tradition.
