On Dec. 6, 2025, the UCLA Bruins hired former James Madison head coach Bob Chesny as its next head football coach for the university.
With the transfer portal more prevalent than ever, Chesny and his staff have gotten busy with the portal, more so adding players than losing them.
The Bruins added 38 total players through the portal (via 247sports) and have lost 11 players, and currently have eight players in the portal. Let’s take a look at every player the Bruins have added/lost and the players who remain in the portal.
