## Resource

UCLA’s backfield is getting a major upgrade with the addition of Wayne Knight, a dynamic rusher and receiver who averaged over 6 yards per carry and nearly 100 yards per game at James Madison. With UCLA’s rushing attack ranking near the bottom last season—scoring just eight rushing touchdowns—Knight’s proven production offers a much-needed boost. Returning backs Jaivian Thomas and Anthony Woods struggled to make an impact after transferring, making Knight’s arrival all the more critical. He’ll need to adapt quickly to Westwood and mesh with QB Nico Iamaleava to restore balance to the offense. If Knight can replicate his standout performances—including a 100-yard game against Oregon—he could become the cornerstone of UCLA’s turnaround and help build the culture the new coaching staff is aiming for.
