Chesney Strengthens 2027 Class with Top OT

UCLA’s new head coach Bob Chesney is turning heads with a massive recruiting surge, locking in his 20th commit for the 2027 class—offensive tackle Weston Hicks, a 6’6”, 305-pound powerhouse from Connecticut. Ranked 73 overall and 52 at his position, Hicks chose UCLA over South Carolina, Virginia Tech, and others, perfectly aligning with Chesney’s run-first offense. With nine of his 20 commits on offense—including the first offensive tackle in this class—Chesney is building a dominant line from the ground up, signaling a bold, long-term vision for sustained success.
