LOS ANGELES (AP) — DeShaun Foster got busy overhauling most of his coaching staff after his first season at UCLA. He upgraded the roster , making a splash in the transfer portal by landing quarterback Nico Iamaleava .
Iamaleava left Tennessee before the spring game to return home to Los Angeles, where he'll try to take the Bruins to heights they haven't been in years.
UCLA was 5-7 overall and 3-6 in its debut season in the Big Ten Conference under Foster. The Bruins' last double-digit win season was in 2014 and they've made just three bowl appearances since 2017, losing twice.
Iamaleava is among 55 new players in Westwood, along with eight new assistants. He didn't participate in spring camp, so how quickly the Bruins come together will be something to watch.
“I love how humble he is,”
