Wayne Knight to UCLA | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA just pulled off a major coup by landing explosive transfer running back Wayne Knight, who tore up the Sun Belt with 1,373 yards and 9 TDs last season. Now, he’s poised to be the game-changer UCLA desperately needs as they rebuild in the Big Ten — especially with a 3-9 campaign last year and just 8 wins in the past 24 games. Knight’s standout performance against Oregon (110 yards on 17 carries) signals he’s ready for Power Five competition, and with his familiarity of Coach Chesney’s system and a projected strong offensive line, he’s primed to dominate. Analysts predict 1,100+ rushing yards and 7+ TDs — if he delivers even half of his Sun Belt magic, Knight could be the spark that lights up UCLA’s offense in 2026.
