New UCLA football head coach Bob Chesney has plenty to fix on the offensive side of the ball , but both the program and fan base will expect him to significantly improve the squad’s abysmal defense in his first season. The Bruins are not going to acquire only top-end recruits following a brutal two-year stretch that saw them post an 8-16 record. They may need to find success with three-star players. One such prospect just revealed he is coming to Los Angeles .

Linebacker Cain Brackney is committing to UCLA , according to Hayes Fawcett Rivals and On3. He is ranked No. 87 at his position in the 2027 class, per 247 Sports. This team could severely use a run-stopper.
The Bruins allowed allowed a Big-Ten worst 33.4 points per game last season, with the bulk of the problem coming on the ground. They surrendered 190.4 rushing yards per game, ranking only above Rutgers in the conference. Chesney knows his squad will not make any headway in this league unless it gets stronger on the front-seven.
Perhaps Brackney can help clean up the run defense. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound LB out of Bixby, Oklahoma chose UCLA football over other Power Four schools like Michigan , Arkansas and Kansas . He is excited to play in the City of Angels.
“Can’t wait to be a Bruin 4’s UP!” Cain Brackney told Fawcett. Ideally, Bob Chesney will already have a solid defensive structure to work with when this young player officially joins UCLA next year. The hard work is already underway, as the former Pac-12 team undergoes what fans hope is a massive reconstruction project.
