Nico Iamaleava's UCLA Bruins Rebound with New Coach

UCLAs Nico Iamaleava, once a promising quarterback, aims for a comeback in the 2026 season. After a tumultuous college career, including a stint at Tennessee, Iamaleava joined UCLA for NIL deals. However, the Bruins struggles led to a three-and-nine record in 2025. Now, with new coach Bob Chesney, who guided James Madison to a 12-2 record last year, Iamaleava hopes to regain his form. Chesneys transfer portal acquisitions, including running back Wayne Knight and wide receivers Leland Smith and Semaj Morgan, could boost the offense and help Iamaleava become a top power-four quarterback again.
