The Bob Chesney era for UCLA football is set to commence, potentially bringing significant roster changes. Three key players who could thrive under the new coaching staff are highlighted: quarterback Nico Iamaleava, wide receiver Kwazi Gilmer, and linebacker Isaiah Chisom. Iamaleava, despite a challenging recent season, showcases exceptional running skills and was the Bruins top rusher. Gilmer had a standout season, particularly in the final game against USC, and could become a formidable offensive threat with further development.
