Summary
UCLA’s football program is flipping its roster for 2026, bringing in 42 transfers, 20 freshmen, and JUCO players—with as many as 15 ready to start immediately. New head coach Bob Chensey, who led James Madison to playoff action, is bringing 10 key players and 12 coaches with him, accelerating his system’s implementation. Standout running back Wayne Knight, who rushed for 1,300+ yards last season, could be a game-changer for UCLA’s struggling offense. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava returns for his sophomore season, offering stability amid coaching changes. Chensey’s track record is stellar, but UCLA’s Power Five leap is his toughest challenge yet—success hinges on how fast this new squad clicks.
