Summary
UCLA’s football future is being rewritten under new head coach Bob Chesney, who’s brought in a fresh staff and 45 new transfers—ranked 11th nationally—while keeping key holdovers. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava, a high-profile transfer from Tennessee, faces immense pressure to deliver after a shaky debut season marked by more interceptions than touchdowns, but with new weapons and a revamped offense, he’s poised to become a top NFL prospect by 2027. Senior wideout Mikey Matthews, UCLA’s lone returning receiver, must prove himself as the third-string option amid a loaded receiving corps. And running back Wayne Knight, who transferred from James Madison with Chesney, is expected to be the team’s workhorse after dominating with 1,300+ rushing yards and 9 TDs last season—just what UCLA needs to fix its struggling ground game.
