Summary
UCLA’s football program is set for a seismic shift in 2026 as new head coach Bob Chesney arrives with a record 42 transfers, 20 freshmen, and 12 coaches — including 10 key players from his playoff-bound James Madison squad. Expect as many as 15 newcomers to start immediately, led by explosive running back Wayne Knight, who could be a Big Ten breakout star. With quarterback Nico Iamaleava returning for stability, Chesney’s mission is clear: turn chaos into cohesion in the Power Five. Can he build a winning culture fast enough to silence doubters?
