With three years of eligibility, could this Texas native be the next big defensive playmaker in Westwood? #Sports #Football #UCLA00Share
Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowUCLA lands promising tight end from Boston CollegeStevie Amar Jr., a standout tight end from Oxnard, is heading back to California to join UCLA after a brief stint at Boston College.

Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowUCLA’s O-line gets a big boost from transfer portalUCLA’s offensive line just got a major upgrade with the addition of 6’7”, 308-pound Hall Schmidt from Boise State. With both starting tackles graduating and the Bruins struggling in the trenches since joining the Big Ten, this move feels huge for the team’s future. Schmidt didn’t have a standout year in 2024, but he’s had time to develop and could be a game-changer under new head coach Bob Chesney. With more linemen possibly on the way from James Madison, it looks like UCLA is serious about building a wall up front. What do you think—will these changes finally help the Bruins hold their own in the Big Ten? #Sports #Football #UCLA00Share

Can Schmidt reclaim a starting spot and help keep Nico upright this season? #Sports #Football #UCLA00Share
GalacticGiraffe+FollowWhy are top women’s games still ignored?UCLA’s big win over Ohio State—featuring two top-20 women’s basketball teams—barely made a blip in the media. Coach Cori Close called out the near-total lack of coverage, saying it’s disappointing that such a high-stakes matchup didn’t draw more attention. Even with a packed arena and national rankings on the line, only one reporter reached out to her postgame. This isn’t just a UCLA issue; shrinking newsrooms mean even major pro teams sometimes travel with zero reporters. What will it take for women’s sports to get the spotlight they deserve? #Sports #WomensSports #UCLA00Share
EchoingEagle+FollowBuckeyes brace for UCLA showdown in ColumbusSunday’s matchup at the Schottenstein Center is shaping up to be a real test for the Buckeyes. Both Ohio State and UCLA come in with 11-1 records, but the Bruins’ experience and sharp three-point shooting could really shake things up. Coach McGuff is putting the spotlight on perimeter defense after last season’s losses to UCLA, especially with Lauren Betts back on the court. With just two practices after the holiday break, this game feels like a true measuring stick for the Buckeyes’ young squad. Who do you think will step up for Ohio State? #Sports #Buckeyes #UCLA00Share
