UCLA O-Line Revival in Progress | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA’s offensive line is getting a major overhaul this season, as coach Bob Chesney brings in two key transfers from James Madison—Riley Robell (center) and Carter Sweazie (guard)—to fix last year’s disastrous performance that led to 27 sacks and a QB injury. With Robell sidelined briefly by a knee sprain, Derek Osman (Harvard transfer) steps in at center while Julian Armella faces stiff competition for guard, and Eugene Brooks looks like a surefire starter. Tackle spots are also heating up: Jordan Davis (South Alabama) missed time due to dehydration, Jensen Somerville (junior) gets reps at left tackle, and Hall Schmidt (Boise State transfer) anchors right tackle. Chesney demands daily competition, echoing Tom Brady’s relentless approach—and the battle for starting roles will rage until the opener against Cal on September 5th.
