Rain soaked the Spaulding Field turf Saturday morning.
Players in drenched jerseys stumbled and slipped across the field.

Ikaika Malloe obviously did not hear his name called in the 2025 NFL Draft. But he sure had his imprint all over the event.
After his first season manufacturing UCLA football’s defense, the Bruins’ defensive coordinator watched four of his defensemen earn homes in the NFL.

Oluwafemi Oladejo, the hard-hitting linebacker out of UCLA football, was selected by the Tennessee Titans with the 52nd overall pick in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday night. 
The 6-foot-3 Bruins’ call-up follows in quick succession after linebacker colleague Carson Schwesinger was snapped up by the Cleveland Browns with the 33rd overall pick and first pick of the second round earlier Friday evening, marking a banner night for the Bruins’ defensive core.

Together, Oladejo and Schwesinger patrolled one of the most punishing linebacker units in college football last season, holding opponents to just 96.2 rushing yards per game for the sixth-stingiest mark in the nation.

Nico Iamaleava had his worst performance on the biggest stage last season.
In his first College Football Playoff appearance, Iamaleava completed just 14-of-31 passes for 104 yards, costing his team a trip to the Rose Bowl as eventual national champion Ohio State trampled Iamaleava and Tennessee 42-17.

While spring practice is in full swing and UCLA football’s future seems to be taking center stage on social media, a group of former Bruins are preparing to begin their journeys at the next level.

Joey Aguilar is headed to Tennessee. Madden Iamaleava is circling back to Westwood. And in the span of a day, the trajectory of UCLA football’s quarterback room has been completely rewritten. 
ESPN’s Chris Low announced Monday afternoon that Aguilar, the redshirt senior who transferred to UCLA from Appalachian State in late December, plans to transfer to Tennessee – less than four months after taking first-team reps as the Bruins’ starting quarterback. 
Just about an hour later, Low reported that Madden Iamaleava – newly-arrived five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava’s younger brother – informed his now-former Arkansas coaches that he was headed to UCLA to reunite with his brother in Westwood. 
The back-to-back moves cap a 26-hour sequence for UCLA and Tennessee, which have effectively swapped quarterbacks.
