Rodrick Pleasant, a standout defensive back for the Bruins, had an impressive season, despite not always being reflected in the stats. His eighteen percent forced incompletion rate placed him among the top defensive backs in the Big Ten. A transfer from Oregon, Pleasant quickly established himself as a top cornerback, earning an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention selection. His impact was particularly noticeable during the teams three-game winning streak. With his exceptional athleticism and speed, Pleasant holds the California high school record for the one hundred-meter dash. As the off-season progresses, his decision to stay with UCLA or explore other options will be a key storyline to watch.
