UCLA's football program has operated with a newfound confidence and conviction under head coach Bob Chesney and his coaching staff, and it seems to be just the beginning on the recruiting trail. The Bruins will welcome more than 40 new players via the transfer portal and 20 freshmen for the 2026 season, and their 2027 class has rapidly ascended into the top four nationally, with a few legacy commits in tow. It's a great start, but the goal is to make that the norm, and UCLA is now taking a big shot at a high-performing Big Ten commit to make that 2027 class even stronger. If they land him, it would be their biggest recruiting win in a long time. Appreciate @Coach_DKennedy for showing love and taking the time to come see me today!…
